in 1889 the empire of brazil was abolished and replaced with a republic in a coup d'état led by marshal deodoro da fonseca, who deposed brazilian emperor dom pedro ii, proclaimed brazil a republic and formed a provisional government. the 15 november 1889 military coup actually began as an attempt to overthrow the empire's prime minister, afonso celso, viscount of ouro preto, but the unprecedented coup against a prime minister appointed by the emperor and who enjoyed the confidence of the elected chamber of deputies quickly escalated to the abolition of the monarchy. with the proclamation of the brazilian republic, the empire's constitution ceased to operate, the imperial parliament (the general assembly) ceased to exist, and not only was the viscount of ouro preto removed from office, but the position of prime minister itself ceased to exist. as head of the provisional government, marshal deodoro da fonseca ruled by decree, discharging both the functions of head of state and of head of government. the former provinces of the empire were reorganized as states and the newly proclaimed republic was declared a federation, formed by the perpetual union of those states.
