The Governor of a Brazilian State filed a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade — ADI) before the Federal Supreme Court (STF) challenging a Federal Law that regulates environmental licensing for offshore oil exploration across the Brazilian continental shelf. In accordance with the 1988 Federal Constitution (Art. 103) and settled STF jurisprudence on active standing (legitimidade ativa), the STF will:

Hear the ADI on the merits because State Governors are universal standing parties (legitimados universais) exempt from demonstrating thematic pertinence. Reject the petition at the threshold (não conhecimento) for lack of standing because State Governors are qualified standing parties (legitimados especiais) who must demonstrate thematic pertinence (pertinência temática). Direct the proceedings to the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) because disputes between the Federal Union and States over natural resources are within the STJ's original jurisdiction. Dismiss the action because State Governors may only challenge State laws and municipal norms before the STF.

Correct Answer:

Reject the petition at the threshold (não conhecimento) for lack of standing because State Governors are qualified standing parties (legitimados especiais) who must demonstrate thematic pertinence (pertinência temática).
