1963 request for a state of exception in Brazil

On October 4, 1963, the President of Brazil, João Goulart sent to the National Congress a request for a state of exception.[1] Goulart requested that the state of exception would be for 30 days. He claimed that it would be necessary because the economy in Brazil was in a crisis.[2][3] The request was rejected by the right and the left of National Congress.[4][5] The President removed the request on October 7.[6][7]
