Institutional act
The Institutional Actes were decrees promulgated by the soldiers during the years following the military Coup d'etat of 1964 to the Brésil. They were used as mechanism of legitimation and legalization of the interventions of the soldiers in the political life of the country, in their conferring various extra-constitutional capacities. In the facts, the Institutional Acts were an instrument to maintain in legality the actions of the soldiers. Without this mechanism, the Constitution of 1946 would have made the military regime illegitimate and illegal, from where need for replacing it by decrees allowing the soldiers to exert the power.
Of 1964 with 1969, 17 Acts Institutional were emitted, supplemented by 104 decrees.
The government justified them by its will to fight " corruption and the subversion".
