Despite being categorized as a proper province, the [[Castelonovo|Federal Capital]], comprised of the {{wp|Capital|capital city}} of [[Castelonovo]], has the same powers and institutions of a {{wp|municipality}}, given its special condition and size. This has led to the criticism of many sections of civil society in what has been described as a legal and administrative limbo, although there is no provision for administrative reforms in the foreseeable future.

Although its autonomy briefly ceased over the Gaullican rule in the region, the captaincies would be once again the centre of Belmonte's political framework during the confederal era, only to permanently ceasing to exist after the Federalist Revolt.

During the First Republic, the former captaincies were replaced by the current provinces. Most of the current federal pact was established in the Riachuelo Agreement and consequently in the 1836 and 1935 constitutions, whilst the Berquó dictatorship instituted a centralist regime that ended after his fall.

According to the Constitution, all provinces have their governments and constitutions, with the executive being headed by a governor, the legislative by the legislative assemblies and the judiciary by regional courts. The province's governor is elected through a parliamentary system with the governor being the leader of the party with the biggest number of seats in the Legislative Assembly, either by having the best electoral performance or through an electoral coalition. Once elected, the governor appoints cabinet members and an attorney-general.

The Legislative Assembly acts as the unicameral legislature of the provinces, being responsible for the introduction, discussion and vote of laws and budgets. Provincial laws can be vetoed by the governor, with the veto itself being able to be overturned by the assembly with a simple majority. The assembly also can vote for a motion of non-confidence against the governor. Regional courts, in turn, acts as a trial, appellate and constitutional court, being subjected to provincial law.
