Constitution
Constitution of the State of Rio Grande do Sul

The Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Sul (Portuguese: Assembleia Legislativa do Rio Grande do Sul) is the regional parliament of Rio Grande do Sul, a federative unit in Brazil. It has 55 state deputies elected every 4 years.

History

Imperial Brazil

The Assembly originated in 1828 as the General Council of the Province in the Casa da Junta, which had limited legislative power. After the creation of the Provincial Legislative Assemblies by Law No. 16 of 12 August 1834, the Legislative Assembly of São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul began to operate on 20 April 1835. However, the Ragamuffin War, which initiated in September of the same year, prompted the Assembly to go into recess until 1 March 1845, briefly reactivating between October and November 1837. It was closed again from 1865 to 1871, during the Paraguayan War, when the imperial government suspended constitutional guarantees.

Republican Brazil

The Assembly was deactivated with the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889 until 25 June 1891. With the 1935 State Constitution, it was reduced to a Permanent Commission of 7 members, and on 10 November 1937, Getúlio Vargas decreed the Estado Novo and closed all the legislative houses. It remained in this condition until 1947, when the new deputies met for the third State Constituent Assembly.

On 20 September 1967, the legislature's new building, the Farroupilha Palace, was inaugurated.
