| | The President has extensive executive powers: he appoints the Cabinet, and he is also both head of state and head of government. | | | In 1808 Queen Maria I of Portugal and her son and regent, the future João VI of Portugal, fleeing from Napoleon, relocated to Brazil with the royal family, nobles and government. | | | The 1988 constitution grants broad powers to the federal government, of which the President and Vice-President are elected on the same ticket by popular vote for four-year terms. |

| | History of Brazil |
| | Similar to the Constitution of the United States, it was adopted in February 1891, and Brazil became a federal republic, officially styled the United States of Brazil. | | | Separation of church and state and other republican reforms were swiftly decreed. | | | Among the features of the new constitution adopted by this body in 1934 were sections curtailing states' rights and providing for woman suffrage, social security for workers, and the election of future presidents by the congress. |

| | A BRIEF HISTORY OF BRAZIL |
| | A constitution like that of the United States was adopted in 1891, and Brazil officially became the United States of Brazil. | | | Unsuccessful in his bid for the presidency in 1930, Vargas led a revolt that overthrew the government. | | | Popular pressure in Brazil compelled his son, Dom Pedro, to declare Brazil independent in 1822, and so Brazil became an Empire with a monarchy, while the rest of North and South American became republics. |

| | Brazil - United States |
| | The United States was especially pleased with the break-up of state monopolies in the petroleum and telecommunications sectors. | | | Under intense pressure from the United States Embassy in Brasília, however, the Brazilian Senate and Chamber of Deputies finally approved the plan in May 1995, over protests from the governors from the Amazon region. | | | A timely visit by United States Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown in June 1994 heavily influenced the decision, and two days after his departure, the Brazilian government decided in favor of a consortium led by the American firm Raytheon, instead of Thomson CSF. |

| | Implicit in the exegesis is a comparison of the United States and Argentina as immigrant nations. | | | Just as our author argues that the United States is constituted not by an “American” but by “Americans,” so, too, can we make use of this methodology in arguing for an inter-American approach to the New World. | | | The author argues that Scott was less influenced by writers from the United States (most of whom he knew well) than by those from England, his preferred literary tradition. |
