   First republican constitution

   The Constitution of 1891 establishes a federal republic with strong states, modelled in part on the United States. Its Article 3 reserves to the Union a zone of 14,400 square kilometres on the central plateau for a future federal capital; until then Rio de Janeiro remains the capital.
