1931 Constitution

The 1931 Constitution of Brazil marked a significant shift in the country's governance following years of political turmoil. It established a federal republic, promoting democratic principles and increased state autonomy. The constitution introduced civil liberties, such as freedom of speech and religion, and aimed to provide rights to workers. It also created a direct election system for the president and established a framework for regional governments. Although it was in effect until 1937, the 1931 Constitution represented Brazil's move toward modernization and greater public participation in government.
