The Constitutional System of Brazil (Paperback)

Originally published in 1923, this early work is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. James provides a comprehensive and thorough analysis of the constitutional system of Brazil that is indispensable reading for any historian of the country. The Constitution of the Republic of the United States of Brazil and the Constitution of the Empire of Brazil are included as appendices. Contents Include: Historical Background of the Brazilian Federation; Federal Basis of the Brazilian System; The Federal Congress; The Federal Executive; The Federal Judiciary; The Declaration of Rights; Suspension of Constitutional Guaranties; The State Constitutions; The Federal District and the Federal Territory of Acre; Conclusions; Appendices. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
