Brazilian Government System

                                         BRAZIL GOVERNMENT TYPES

Brazil is a Federal Presidential Representative Democratic Republic, which sounds like a lot to understand! It is a Democratic Republic because the leader is elected by the people to rule the government for a set period of time. The people of Brazil get to vote on who this leader is. It is Presidential because it is a President that is the head of state and the government. it is a Federation because the power is divided amongst the different states of Brazil.          

                          This is the Government crest showing the Government established in 1889:

The main political parties in brazil are the workers party, the Liberal party, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, The Progresives Party and the Brazilian Union.

Similar to Australia, Brazils Government is divided into three branches of government: The executive branch, the legislative branch and the judiciary branch. The executive branch is headed by the president and cabinet Ministers. The Executive branch is responsible for executing laws, appointing cabinet ministers, managing governemt departments and administation and foreign affairs. The Legislative Branch is made up of the Federal senate and the Chamber of Deputies. The legislative branch is responsible for creating and approving laws. Finally the Judicial Branch is made up of 4 courts: The Supreme Federal court, the superior court of Justice, The National Justice council and the regional federal courts.  The judicial branch is responsible for inetrpretting and applying the laws of the country.
