Government

Brazil is a Federal Republic government. Their government includes a head of state and government which is a president. Brazil has 26 states and the federal district. The government has three branches, the executive branch which is the head of the government, the legislative branch which is the congress, and the judicial branch which is in charge of Brazil's court system.

When you are assigning a new president people who are eighteen to seventy years old and can read and right have to vote. If you are 16, 17, or older than 70 years old it is option for them to vote. Also all of the armed forces do not have to vote, but can if they want to.

Brazil's government is not repressive because it does not tell people that you can only do this certain job and buy from these shops.

The government does have a check and balance system because they have three branches of government which means that the congress can not be to powerful or the president cant make all the laws without checking with the congress. Those examples show that everyone has a part in agreeing. So the three branches balance each other out to make everything run smoothly.

Through time Brazil's government changed because earlier in the day around 1888 Pom Pedro 111 was the ruler. Most of the people were very poor and started to believe in antislavery. Then Lei Aurea granted freedom of slavery. Now the constitution of Brazil states that all brazilians are equal. Regardless of race, gender, or religion.
