The newborn republic adopted a federative system which has kept its same characteristics until today. Under federation the
provinces of the Empire were transformed into States. The parliamentary system was replaced with a presidential one, a bicameral
Congress (Chamber of Deputies and Senate) was created, as well as a completely independent Supreme Court.
At the states' level the same structure was adopted. President after president, elected under the rules of the prevailing constitutional
system, succeeded each other in officee until 1930.
