:Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais

Brazil's 1824 Constitution, the first since claiming independence from Portugal in 1822, began establishing governmental and legislative powers; Ouro Preto, then the capital of Minas Gerais, was chosen as the province's main administrative hub. It was written to the benefit of wealthy landowners and put native Brazilians, many of them Indigenous or Black, at a disadvantage, particularly because early laws allowed for slavery.{{cite thesis |last=Parreira Wicks|first=Nilce|date=2017-01-01|title=Pathways to Freedom: Slavery and Emancipation in Nineteenth-Century Ouro Preto, Brazil|type=2017|publisher=UCLA|url=https://escholarship.org/content/qt06x4547v/qt06x4547v_noSplash_50a382fdd00fafe91e9677877e891796.pdf|access-date=2022-01-30}} An 1834 Amendment allowed its provinces, including Minas Gerais, to establish provincial legislation.{{cite web|last=Machado Oliveira|first=Kelly Eleutério|date=2017-01-01|title="O CAVALO DE BATALHA DO REGRESSO": A SEGUNDA LEGISLATURA DA ASSEMBLEIA PROVINCIAL MINEIRA (1838-1839)|url=https://www.seo.org.br/download/download?ID_DOWNLOAD=90 |access-date=2022-01-29}}{{cite journal |last1=Damasceno|first1=Alberto|date=2017|title=A instrução no grão-Pará imperial: do ato adicional de 1834 ao relatório Gonçalves Dias|url=https://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/rbhe/article/view/40708/pdf_168|journal= Revista Brasileira de História da Educação|volume=17|number=1|pages=38–64|doi=10.4025/rbhe.v17n1.829|access-date=2022-01-29|doi-access=free}}{{cite web |last1=Papadia|first1=Andrea|date=2019-05-01|title=Slaves, Migrants and Development in Brazil, 1872-1923|url=https://cadmus.eui.eu/bitstream/handle/1814/63508/MWP_WP_Papadia_2019_05.pdf?isAllowed=y&sequence=1|publisher=European University Institute|access-date=2022-01-30}} At the time of the provincial legislature's establishment, Minas Gerais had more enslaved people than any other province in Brazil.

In 1889, Emperor Pedro II, the final monarch of the Empire of Brazil, was quietly overthrown by the military, who established the First Brazilian Republic, formally known as the United States of Brazil.{{cite web|url=https://library.brown.edu/create/fivecenturiesofchange/chapters/chapter-4/|title=Chapter 4: Late Imperial Brazil|date=n.d.|publisher=Brown University Library|access-date=2022-01-30|language=en}} Wealthy men who had previously owned slaves, as well Minas Gerais and São Paulo, Brazil's largest and richest provinces, headed the coup d'état and the subsequent creation of a republic.{{cite web|url=https://www2.camara.leg.br/a-camara/conheca/historia/a1republica.html|title=A HISTÓRIA DA CÂMARA DOS DEPUTADOS|date=n.d.|publisher=Camara dos Deputados|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}}{{cite web|url=https://memory.loc.gov/intldl/brhtml/br-1/br-1-6.html|title=The Republic|date=n.d.|publisher=The Library of Congress|access-date=2022-01-30|language=en}} Emperor Pedro II was replaced by Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, the first president of the new oligarchy.{{cite web|url=https://cpdoc.fgv.br/producao/dossies/AEraVargas1/anos20/CrisePolitica/Constituicao1891|title=Constituição de 1891|date=n.d.|publisher=Center for Research and Documentation of Contemporary History of Brazil|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}}

In 1945, Vargas was pushed aside and Brazil returned briefly to a democracy. A democratic constitution was introduced and promised full political freedom, reduction of centralized power, and state rights to elect local political representatives.{{cite web|url=https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/constituicao/constituicao46.htm|title=Constituição Dos Estados Unidos Do Brasil (De 18 De Setembro De 1946) |publisher=Presidency of the Republic Civil House Sub-chief for Legal Affairs|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}}{{cite web|url=https://www2.camara.leg.br/a-camara/conheca/historia/a4republica.html|title=A 4A REPÚBLICA|date=n.d.|publisher=Camara dos Deputados|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} In 1947, the Constituent Assembly of Minas Gerais was revived, this time with 72 deputies.

The 1964 military coup plunged the country into another dictatorship, this one lasting for more than 20 years.{{cite web|url=https://library.brown.edu/create/brazilundervargas/|title=HIST 1970E: "Brazil Under Vargas: Shaping a Nation," Spring 2015|date=2015|publisher=Brown University Library|access-date=2022-01-30|language=en}}{{cite web|url=https://www.infoescola.com/historia-do-brasil/constituicao-de-1967/|title=Constituição de 1967|last=Cysne|first=Diogo|date=n.d.|publisher=Info Escola|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} Institutional Acts were introduced and viewed as superior to the constitution. Again, political rights were oppressed, elections were skewed, state autonomy was limited, and political parties were quashed, which created a heavily controlled bipartisan government.{{cite web|url=https://educacao.uol.com.br/disciplinas/historia-brasil/bipartidarismo-sistema-vigorou-durante-a-ditadura-militar.htm|title=Bipartidarismo - Sistema vigorou durante a ditadura militar|date=n.d.|publisher=uol Educacao|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} In 1967, Minas Gerais' weakened Assembly majoritatively consisted of members of ARENA, one of the two political parties allowed under the Acts. In 1984, civil unrest demanding a return to democracy began cropping up around the country.{{cite web|url=https://brasilescola.uol.com.br/historiab/constituicao-1988.htm|title=Constituição de 1988|date=n.d.|publisher=Brasil Escola|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} While dissent from Brazilians continued, José Sarney stepped in as president when his platform partner Tancredo Neves died. Sarney reestablished elections in 1986 to repopulate the National Assembly. A new constitution was passed in 1988 and was the most strongly "democratic Constitution in the history of [the] country." The new constitution restored power to the states, democratic elections, and other freedoms oppressed during the military dictatorship.{{cite web|url=https://pdba.georgetown.edu/Constitutions/Brazil/brazil03.html|title=República Federativa de Brasil/ Federative Republic of Brazil|date=2008|publisher=Edmund A Walsh School of Foreign Service|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} States could have their own symbols, including flags, and legislative bodies, who could pass state laws. In 1989, the Legislative Assembly was again revived, this time with 77 deputies.

The Assembly was located in Ouro Preto for the first century or so of its existence in a free Brazil. The Assembly's library was established in 1892 and resided for 5 years in the building now hosting the Federal University of Ouro Preto's pharmacy school.{{cite web|url=https://www.revistaencontro.com.br/canal/atualidades/2017/06/biblioteca-da-assembleia-legislativa-de-minas-gerais-completa-125-anos.html|title=Biblioteca da Assembleia Legislativa de Minas Gerais completa 125 anos|date=2017-06-21|publisher=encontro|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} In 1897, as a symbol of progress, the state capital moved from Ouro Preto to Cidade de Minas, now Belo Horizonte.{{cite book|last=Briskievicz|first=Danilo Arnaldo|title=Comarca do Serro do Frio: História da Educação entre os Séculos XVIII ao XX|url={{Google books|wb8ZEAAAQBAJ|plainurl=yes}}}} The Assembly moved into a building on Avenida Afonso Pena and its library settled at Praça da República, now known as the Praça Afonso Arinos. They later moved to a building on Rua Tamoios following a 1959 fire before settling in the newly built Palácio da Inconfidência in 1972.

The Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais (ALMG) is made up of 77 deputies. The number of members is established "correspond[ing] to triple the representation of the State in the Chamber of Deputies and, when the number 36 is reached, it will be increased by as many Federal Deputies [minus] twelve."{{cite web|url=https://g1.globo.com/mg/minas-gerais/noticia/saiba-por-que-77-e-a-quantidade-de-deputados-estaduais-em-minas-gerais.ghtml|title=Saiba por que 77 é a quantidade de deputados estaduais em Minas Gerais|date=2018-05-05|last=Freitas|first=Raquel|publisher=g1|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} Deputies are elected for four-year terms, called legislatures.{{cite web|url=https://www.almg.gov.br/deputados/conheca_deputados/index.html?pager.offset=0&aba=js_tabAtual&rdSituacaoAnt=Exercicio&exp=&sltResult=16&formato=imagem&sltLegAnt=15&rdSituacao=Exercicio&smtFiltro=Filtrar|title=Meet the Deputies|date=n.d.|publisher=Minas Gerais Assembly - ALMG|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} Each year of the legislature has a single legislative session.{{cite web|url= https://www.almg.gov.br/a_assembleia/entenda_assembleia/index.html|title=ENTENDA A ASSEMBLEIA|date=n.d.|publisher=Assembleia Legislativa de Minas Gerais|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} The Plenary is the "deliberative body," where state deputies meet to discuss and vote on proposed bills.{{cite web|url=https://www.almg.gov.br/atividade_parlamentar/plenario/index.html|title=PLENÁRIO|date=n.d.|publisher=Assembleia Legislativa de Minas Gerais|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} The plenary is the highest court within the Assembly, with administrative authority over committees, the assembly table, party leaders, and the cabinet.{{cite web|url=https://www.almg.gov.br/a_assembleia/entenda_assembleia/estrutura_organizacional/index.html|title=ENTENDA A ASSEMBLEIA|date=n.d.|publisher=Assembleia Legislativa de Minas Gerais|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}} Some plenary events are open discussions with the public.{{cite web|url=https://al-mg.jusbrasil.com.br/noticias/2465133/combate-a-tortura-e-tema-de-debate-publico-na-almg|title=Combate à tortura é tema de debate público na ALMG|date=n.d.|publisher=Jusbrasil|access-date=2022-01-30|language=pt}}
