Brazil's Military Gov.

Military Government In Brazil 
After the death of Getulio Vargas in 1954 from committing suicide, there was a revolt in leadership as Juscelino Kubitschek took office in 56-60 then replaced by Joao Goulart until the military arrive and fully took control of Brazil over the next 20 years. 
While the military had control over Brazil, they install 5 different types of president to take control of the office.  During the years of Castelo, he inducted 5 Institutional Acts and three of them were... 
  • Institutional Act 1: confirmed 1948 Constitution, canceled presidential elections, and cleans Brazil's corruption. 
  • Institutional Act 2: reduced the democracy, regulated candidates to run for office, and that presidents could take control of the Supreme Court. 
  • Institutional Act 3: ended election of state governors and city mayors. 
 
Later on in the 1967, Brazil instituted certain types of controls to eliminate the economic issues spreading around the nation.
