The article argues that the causes behind the shortcomings & weaknesses of the democratic institutions of any EU member, including those of Portugal, will not be ameliorated by the approval & adoption of the European Constitution. European integration, much like globalization, is not a passing or one-time phenomenon, but a long-range evolutionary process, as is the further development & refinement of democratic institutions. European integration, along with democratic reforms, will continue with or without the ratification of the Constitution. The article compares & contrasts sections of the Portuguese Constitution & proposed European Constitution, the Portuguese Parliament & the proposed European Parliament, as well as the Portuguese executive & the proposed European executive.
