The Chamber of Deputies is a federal legislative body and the lower house of the National Congress of Brazil. The chamber comprises 513 deputies, who are elected by proportional representation to serve four-year terms. The Chamber of Deputies is the House before most bills are laid, where the larger debates and decisions of national importance are centralized.The legislative branch of government plays an indispensable role in society, since it has three main functions for the consolidation of democracy: represents the Brazilian people, legislates on national issues and oversees the use of public resources. In this context, the Chamber of Deputies discusses and approves proposals for economic and social areas such as Education, Health, Transport, Housing, without neglecting the proper use, by the Powers of the Union, of the taxes collected from the population.
