To explore more about Brazil as a country I explore the current government setup of Brazil. Brazil is a federal republic and consists of 26 states. Brazil has a legislative body which is made up of a Federal Senate and a Chamber of Deputies. Like the USA the chamber has representatives for each state depending on the population of the state. The senate is made up of 3 representatives per state. Interestingly from 1964-1985 the government was actually controlled by the military. During these years generals ruled Brazil and suspended multiple constitutional rights of the people. Each president and vice president has a 6 year term in Brazil.
