History
The first council of ministers was created on the aftermath of the liberal victory in the Federalist Revolt and the establishment of the First Belmontese Republic. Despite being a presidential republic in which the presidency was granted several powers, president Aranha established several federal departments and institutions including the cabinet, which was composed by four ministers at the time, expanding to six before the 1828 Coup. With the introduction of a parliamentary system in the Second Republic, the cabinet would have its powers greatly expanded with the premier being its head under a primus inter pares system, however, with the National Renovation Coup and Berquó's rise to power in 1913, the cabinet would found itself reduced to a simple advisory council with no power whatsoever, with the 1936 constitution solidifying this situation by giving to the premiership presidential-like powers.
