The main basic features of Brazilian governance at city level are set by some characteristics of Brazilian federalism, and those features vary across policies and contingently upon sate level and municipal level institutional arrangement within those policies. A distinctive peculiarity of Brazilian federalism is that the 1988 Constitution gave the country’s municipalities the status of autonomous entities within the federation. In other words, while federalism is usually defined by a dual relation between state and federal levels of government, Brazil possesses a tripartite relation between autonomous entities: the federation, states and municipalities.
