Politics

Barrea is a federal, parliamentary and representative democratic republic. Its political system operates under a framework laid out in the Lei Básica (Basic Law).

Amendments to the Lei Básica generally require a two-thirds majority of both chambers of the parliament; the fundamental principles of the constitution, as expressed in the articles guaranteeing human dignity, the separation of powers, the federal structure, and the rule of law are valid in perpetuity.

Government

The federal constitution stipulates that the structure of each state's government must "conform to the principles of a republican, democratic, and social government, based on the rule of law" (Article 28). Most of the states are governed by a cabinet led by a Governor, together with the unicameral state assemblies.

The relationship between state legislative and executive branches mirrors that of the federal system: the legislatures are popularly elected for four or five years (depending on the state), and gubernatorial candidates are nominated for a public election by their majority. The state governors typically are heads of the biggest party or coalition, appointing a cabinet to run the state's agencies and to carry out the executive duties of the state's government. The legislatures can dismiss or replace the governors after a successful no-confidence vote.
