History of the elections / Old Republic

 
 

THE OLD REPUBLIC (1889-1930)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| The Proclamation | "Colonelism"
| The "governors' politics"

"Beheadings" - In fact, the work of the Congress' Powers Verification Committee consisted in denying the electoral truthfulness, as it was the final stage of an annihilation process of the opposition called "beheading", which existed during the entire Old Republic period.
