Brazilian National Congress

The Brazilian National Congress is the country’s legislative body, responsible for creating and passing laws. It is a bicameral institution, composed of the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate. The Chamber of Deputies represents the population, with members elected based on state populations, and handles budget and laws. The Federal Senate represents the states equally, with members elected to serve six-year terms. Together, they debate, amend, and approve legislation, serving as a check on the executive branch. The Congress also oversees government actions and works to ensure laws reflect the country's diverse interests and needs.
