Since 1822
The president of Brazil (officially the President of the Federative Republic of Brazil or simply the President of the Republic) is both the head of state and head of government of the Federative Republic of Brazil. The president leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the Brazilian Armed Forces. The presidential system was established in 1889, upon the proclamation of the republic in a military coup d'état against the Emperor Pedro II. Since then, Brazil had six constitutions, two dictatorships and three democratic periods. During these democratic periods, voting has always been compulsory.
No,
Government type: federal republic
No. Brazil is a federative republic. It was an empire until 1889 though, so it did have a royal family. This family has living descendants, but they don't live in Brazil, because the royal family was expelled from Brazil when the republic was settled (ending with the monarchy). Since that, Brazil is a federative republic. It means it has no kings or queens or any sort of royalty, and it has no prime minister. Brazil is governed by a president, just like in the United States.
No, Brazil has been a republic since 1889.
yes it has always been a federal public
Colonial, imperial and monarchical have been the forms that Brazil's government has taken in the past. Specifically, Portugal basically considered Brazil as its colony from its discovery in 1500 until 1882. On September 7, 1822, Brazil declared independence from Portugal and became the Empire of Brazil [Império do Brasil] until November 15, 1889. On that day the monarchy was overthrown, and Brazil became a republic.
Brazil is a federal constitutional republic. First, it is a democracy. There is universal suffrage and voting is mandatory (not optional like it is in the US). Brazil will inaugurate its first female president, Dilma Rousseff, on January 1, 2011. Second, Brazil has a federal form of government (just like the U.S.) with 26 states. Each state has its own state government, but they have tend to have much less power and independence from the federal government that U.S. states have. Last, Brazil's federal government is based on a detailed Constitution that was ratified in 1988 after the end of the dictatorship and has been amended over 50 times since then.
