Abstract

Federal intervention has been around for more than 200 years since it first appeared in the US constitution of 1787, whose clear influence is seen in the way it was received in the constitutions of federal countries in Latin America. During this time, the institution has been used and abused in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. It has moved beyond its natural vocation to seek unity within the federal State to highly contentious political issues or those that pose problems of governability, such as an economic crisis, public security challenged by organized crime or compromised public health. The elements common to each country’s regulations are analysed in order to identify the best way for the institution to work in federal systems, as well as to determine what its future might hold.
