Description

Brazil enacted a constitutional amendment to the 1891 Constitution (commonly referred to as the Emenda Constitucional de 3 de setembro de 1926). This amendment changed multiple constitutional provisions, including rules and grounds related to federal intervention in the states. The revised text expanded and clarified situations in which the federal government could intervene to protect constitutional principles and restore order.
