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.
