Synopsis

The history of Municipal Councils in Brazil is intertwined with the country's own history, even when we were just a Portuguese colonial territory. In fact, the origin of this story goes back to Portuguese municipal councils that existed since the medieval period. In this sense, when in Colonial Brazil the town of São Vicente was elevated to the status of a town and its City Council was formed, it already had in its midst the Portuguese administrative similarity, established by royal act, which brought into force all the norms valid in the Empire Portuguese, based on the famous Manueline Ordinances (until 1603) and Philippine Ordinances, until the advent of Independence in 1822.
In this way, the Municipal Chambers in Brazil concentrated municipal administration in its executive, legislative and judicial powers, having in its organization a similarity with its counterparts in Portugal with regard to the above-mentioned attributions.
