RESUMO

The Brazilian Federal Constitution, enacted in 1988, considers the Municipality as a federate entity, granting it political, administrative and financial autonomy. When granting municipal autonomy, the Federal Constitution has created two local government powers, the Executive and the Legislative; it also sets down the system of direct elections for mayor and representatives. As a parallel to the government powers, the Federal Constitution has empowered the people-elected Municipal House to pass and enact the Municipal Organic Law, a self-organizing legislation for the Municipality. Notwithstanding theses powers, the Municipal House still performs their duties inherent to the Legislative Power: representation, control and, especially, drafting legislation by means of the legislative procedures, to assure the Municipality the use of their constitutional competence. Based on the 1988 Constitution, the author of this study aims at describing the Municipal Legislative Power and elaborate on its structure, function and competences as emanating from the federative system, the democratic principles and the historical context of Municipalities in Brazil.
