Brazil’s Government • Brazil is a Democratic Federative Republic government.• Brazil is a limited government.• Brazil’s power is distributed in the state of Sao Paulo and

is distributed equally among the government officals.• Brazil’s government is very similar to the United States… -We have a House of Representatives called

"Camara dos Deputados Federais", we have a Senate called "Senado Federal", which constitutes the Legislative branch and the Judicial branch called "Supremo Tribunal Federal", pretty much like the United States Supreme Court.
