	Chamber of Deputies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chamber of Deputies is the name given to a legislative body, be it the lower house of a bicameral legislature, or the name of a unicameral legislature.
		Historically, France's "Chamber of Deputies" was the lower house of parliament during the Bourbon Restoration, July Monarchy and French Third Republic; the name is still informally used for the National Assembly under the nation's current Fifth Republic.
		The term "Chamber of Deputies" is not widely used by English-speaking countries, the more popular equivalent being House of Representatives, although it was used as the name of the lower house of parliament in Burma, a former British colony.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.1, Entry 155, BRAZIL: Library of Economics and Liberty
		—Brazil, discovered in 1500 by Pedro Alvares Cabral, belonged continuously to the crown of Portugal until the Brazilians, with the spontaneous concurrence of the regent Dom Pedro, the immediate heir of the house of Braganza, proclaimed and won their independence, which was subsequently ratified by a treaty, concluded with Portugal.
		Thus the Portuguese in Brazil are numerous; in the cities of the coast they are artisans, and the retail business is partly in their hands—a fact which rouses some what violent Jealousies in the Brazilian people, which from time to time give rise to disturbances, quelled only with some difficulty by the police.
		Justice is dispensed in Brazil by a supreme court; four courts of appeal, sitting at Rio Janeiro, Bahia, Maranhao and at Pernambuco; and by judges of courts of first resort, distributed throughout the extent of the empire.

	Chamber of Deputies in Brazil
		Each State, and also the Federal District, elect a number of Deputies in proportion to the respective population; there is, however, a minimum of eight and a maximum of seventy Deputies per State.
		The idea, grosso modo, is that the Chamber represents the population (and therefore the number of Deputies is proportional to the population), whereas the Senate represents the Federation (hence, each State has the same vocality, all with three Senators).
		Every law must be approved both by the Chamber and the Senate (and eventually promulgated - or vetoed - by the President of the Republic); if one of the Houses changes anything in the draft of law being appreciated, the draft returns to the other House for a new appreciation.
