This present dissertation aims to develop an analysis of the three foundational concepts of Estado Novo, notably Democracy, Authority and Education, and how these were used in the political vocabulary of the mining lawyer Francisco Campos. Campos influence in directing the paths followed by the Estado Novo was so potent that the miner had been chosen by Vargas to draft the Constitutional Charter of 1937, founder of the dictatorial regime. I identify, throughout the speeches, monologues and writings of Francisco Campos, a theory where necessarily three variables - Democracy, Authority and Education - where, together, would form, for the mining intellectual, the national designs, which would culminate in the edition of a New Brazilian State. Political literature, as a rule, indicates that between Democracy and in the authoritarian authority desired by Campos, there is an abyss, given the incompatibility between the concepts presented. However, I realize that it is through the concept of Education that the jurist imagines a peaceful coexistence between the two constructions. For Campos, education would be the necessary tool for the construction of a New Brazil. I analyze in this work the intellectual influences of Campos, such as Carl Schmitt and John Dewey, as well as theoreticians contemporaneous with the jurist from Minas Gerais, such as Oliveira Vianna, Gustavo Capanema and Azevedo Amaral. The studies of Rogério Dultra dos Santos, Luiz Werneck Vianna, Elisa Pereira Reis, Bernardo Ferreira and Simon Schwartzman also offer important tools for a more dynamic understanding of the historical moment, the methodology and the interpretations about Brazil
