1A regional superintendent of the Federal Highway Police (PRF) authorizes the publication of an institutional road safety campaign in local media. The promotional banners prominently feature the superintendent's name, photograph, and political slogan alongside the official PRF crest. Under Article 37, § 1º of the Brazilian Federal Constitution (CF/88), which core principle of public administration is directly violated?
A.Principle of Legality (Princípio da Legalidade).
B.Principle of Impersonality (Princípio da Impessoalidade).
C.Principle of Efficiency (Princípio da Eficiência).
D.Principle of Administrative Continuity (Princípio da Continuidade do Serviço Público).
Explanation: Article 37, § 1º of the Brazilian Federal Constitution establishes that official publicity by public administration organs must have an educational, informative, or social orientation character, and cannot contain names, symbols, or images that characterize personal promotion of authorities or civil servants. Inserting the superintendent's personal photo and political slogan violates the Principle of Impersonality, as public acts belong to the administrative body, not the individual official.
2Within Brazilian administrative law, the Indirect Administration (Administração Indireta) is composed of specialized entities created to perform decentralized public activities. Which entity is defined as an autonomous legal entity of public law, created directly by a specific statute, to execute typical activities of public administration?
A.Autarquia.
B.Public Enterprise (Empresa Pública).
C.Mixed-Capital Company (Sociedade de Economia Mista).
D.Private Concessionaire (Concessionária de Serviço Público).
Explanation: An Autarquia is an autonomous entity created directly by specific law, endowed with legal personality under public law, own assets, and administrative autonomy to execute typical public administration activities (e.g., INSS, IBAMA, ANTT). In contrast, public enterprises and mixed-capital companies have private legal personality and their creation is merely authorized by law.
3The Director-General of the PRF redistributes administrative and inspection competences internally by establishing a new regional operational delegacy (Delegacia da PRF) without creating a new legal entity. In Brazilian administrative doctrine, this internal division of competencies is known as:
A.Administrative Decentralization (Descentralização Administrativa).
B.Concentration (Concentração).
C.Administrative Deconcentration (Desconcentração Administrativa).
D.Functional Privatization (Privatização Funcional).
Explanation: Desconcentração (Deconcentration) is the internal distribution of competences within the same single legal entity, creating internal administrative organs (órgãos) linked by a hierarchical subordination bond (such as creating regional delegacies within the PRF). In contrast, Descentralização (Decentralization) involves transferring competences to a distinct legal entity (such as an autarquia or public enterprise).
4Administrative acts are composed of five essential elements or requisites: Competence (Competência), Purpose (Finalidade), Form (Forma), Motive (Motivo), and Object (Objeto). In a discretionary administrative act (ato discricionário), which elements may encompass administrative convenience and opportunity (mérito administrativo)?
A.Competence and Form.
B.Purpose and Competence.
C.Form and Purpose.
D.Motive and Object.
Explanation: In discretionary administrative acts, the elements of Competence (Competência), Purpose (Finalidade), and Form (Forma) remain strictly bound (vinculados) to statutory rules. Administrative discretion (mérito administrativo), which allows the public agent to evaluate convenience and opportunity, operates exclusively within the bounds of the Motive (Motivo - factual and legal justification) and the Object (Objeto - the practical content and immediate legal effect of the act).
5A PRF administrative inspection unit immediately seizes and removes hazardous, illegally parked commercial cargo blocking a federal highway lane without first seeking judicial authorization. Which attribute of administrative acts empowers the Public Administration to directly enforce its material decisions without prior court intervention?
A.Self-enforceability (Autoexecutoriedade).
B.Imperativeness (Imperatividade).
C.Typicity (Tipicidade).
D.Presumption of Legitimacy (Presunção de Legitimidade).
Explanation: Autoexecutoriedade (Self-enforceability) is the attribute that allows the Public Administration to execute its own administrative acts and coercive measures directly, including material enforcement, without needing prior judicial authorization, provided it is expressly authorized by statute or required by urgent public safety needs.
6According to the Principle of Autotutela (Súmulas 346 and 473 of the Federal Supreme Court - STF), the Public Administration may invalidate its own acts. Regarding the extinction of administrative acts, which statement correctly distinguishes Annulment (Anulação) from Revocation (Revogação)?
A.Revocation applies to illegal acts with retroactive effects (ex tunc), whereas Annulment applies to inconvenient acts with prospective effects (ex nunc).
B.Annulment applies to illegal acts with retroactive effects (ex tunc), whereas Revocation applies to valid, discretionary acts based on convenience/opportunity with prospective effects (ex nunc).
C.Both Annulment and Revocation may be declared by the Judiciary when examining administrative convenience and opportunity.
D.Annulment produces only prospective effects (ex nunc) and cannot be declared by the issuing administrative authority.
Explanation: Under Súmula 473 do STF, Annulment (Anulação) is the extinction of an illegal administrative act, declared by the Administration itself (Autotutela) or by the Judiciary, operating retroactively (ex tunc). In contrast, Revocation (Revogação) is the extinction of a valid, discretionary act due to supervening inconvenience or inopportunity, which can only be carried out by the Public Administration itself and operates prospectively (ex nunc).
7An administrative act was issued with a defect in competence that did not involve exclusive statutory jurisdiction, and the act produced no harm to the public interest or third-party rights. Under Brazilian administrative law, the process by which the Administration retroactively rectifies this curable defect is termed Convalidation (Convalidação). Which elements of an administrative act can be legally convalidated?
A.Object and Motive.
B.Purpose and Motive.
C.Object and Purpose.
D.Non-exclusive Competence and Non-essential Form.
Explanation: Convalidação (Convalidation) is only legally permissible for acts with curable, non-substantial defects, specifically: non-exclusive Competence (competência em razão da matéria ou função não exclusiva) and non-essential Form (forma, provided statute does not declare it essential for validity). Defects in Purpose (desvio de finalidade), Motive (motivo inexistente ou falso), and Object (objeto ilícito ou impossível) represent incurable defects that mandate total annulment.
8The Federal Highway Police exercises administrative police power (Poder de Polícia) when inspecting commercial transport vehicles on federal highways. In administrative law doctrine, which characteristic distinguishes Administrative Police (Polícia Administrativa) from Judicial/Investigative Police (Polícia Judiciária)?
A.Administrative police acts exclusively on individuals who have already committed criminal offenses.
B.Judicial police is preventative and regulates economic activities, while administrative police is strictly repressive.
C.Administrative police acts preventively or repressively on rights, activities, and property, whereas judicial police acts primarily on individuals suspected of criminal infractions.
D.Administrative police is regulated entirely by criminal procedural law, whereas judicial police is governed by administrative municipal codes.
Explanation: Polícia Administrativa (Administrative Police) has a predominantly preventive character (though it can be repressive when sanctioning administrative infractions) and acts upon property, rights, and commercial activities (e.g., vehicle standards, traffic flow, hygiene). In contrast, Polícia Judiciária (Judicial/Investigative Police) acts predominantly repressively on individuals who are suspected of committing criminal infractions, gathering evidence for criminal prosecution.
9A PRF administrative coordinator discovers that a subordinate civil servant has repeatedly failed to record incoming equipment in the internal inventory system. The coordinator initiates an internal disciplinary inquiry and imposes a formal warning (advertência). This administrative action directly expresses which administrative power?
A.Disciplinary Power (Poder Disciplinar).
B.Regulatory Power (Poder Regulamentar).
C.Police Power (Poder de Polícia).
D.Discretionary Policy Power (Poder Político).
Explanation: Poder Disciplinar (Disciplinary Power) is the authority granted to public administration to investigate infractions and apply administrative sanctions to public agents and individuals subjected to a special legal bond with the State (such as contractors). While it derives structurally from Poder Hierárquico, the specific act of investigating and sanctioning functional misconduct is the direct manifestation of Poder Disciplinar.
10Under Lei Federal nº 8.112/1990 (Regime Jurídico Único), the official investiture in a public office (investidura em cargo público) occurs strictly upon which statutory event?
A.Publication of the official public contest result (Homologação do Concurso).
B.Taking formal office (Posse).
C.Commencement of actual job duties (Entrada em Exercício).
D.Completion of the 3-year probationary stage (Estágio Probatório).
Explanation: According to Article 7 of Lei nº 8.112/1990, the formal investiture in a public civil office occurs with Posse (taking office), which is formalized by signing the instrument of investiture wherein the servant accepts the statutory duties, responsibilities, and rights inherent to the cargo público.
