Federal District Of Brazil (1891–1960)
The Federal District (Portuguese language, Portuguese: Distrito Federal) was an administrative division of Brazil created by the Brazilian Constitution of 1891. During the Empire of Brazil the administrative unit that corresponded to this territory was designated the Neutral Municipality (''Município Neutro).'' It was a legal entity under public law until 1960, in the territory corresponding to the current municipality of Rio de Janeiro. With the transfer of the capital to the recently created city of Brasília, the new Federal District (Brazil), Federal District was created in the Brazilian Highlands in 1960. From 1960 to 1975 the same territory existed as the State of Guanabara (state), Guanabara, which in turn was incorporated into the municipality of Rio de Janeiro.

1989 Brazilian Presidential Election
Presidential elections were held in Brazil in 1989, with the first round on November 15 and a second round on December 17. They were the first direct presidential elections since 1960, the first to be held using a two-round system and the first to take place under the 1988 constitution, which followed two decades of authoritarian rule after the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état. The collapse of the military junta-imposed two-party system that pitted the right-wing authoritarian National Renewal Alliance (ARENA) against the catch-all Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) resulted in a wide array of new parties seeking to fill the political vacuum. President José Sarney of the PMDB, the MBD's successor, was ineligible to run. Sarney, who was elected Vice President on Tancredo Neves's ticket in the 1985 elections, had taken office due to Neves's death before his scheduled inauguration. Popular Governor of Alagoas Fernando Collor de Mello resigned from his position to mount a bi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
