This article aspires to discuss the social democratic control present in the Public Policy for Social Assistance, an essential debate in Social Policies in Brazil. Furthermore, we approach the importance of highlighting the role of councils of Social Welfare and the process of constitution of the public sphere, emphasizing the role of social assistance entities and analyzing the concept of civil society within the framework of guaranteeing rights in a participatory democracy. We use as methodology a theoretical analysis literature review of authors who study and discuss such themes, from the theoretical Marxist and Gramscian perspectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
