Summary: The subject of this article revolves around the construction of local power in the constitutional architecture of the Brazilian First Republic, reflecting on the hypothesis that the Brazilian municipality, in the way it was structured in the 1891 constitutional design, was an important piece in political and social coordination in the game played by political elites and institutional actors. The main arguments that support the hypothesis are erected from the conceptions in political theory developed by Hannah Arendt and James Madison, seeking to interpret the Brazilian reality from the theoretical frameworks offered by Arendt and Madison. The Brazilian reality, in turn, is approached through the lenses of the most prestigious authors of national political history, as well as recent works developed by Paolo Ricci and Jaqueline Zulini, which detail, with empirical data, the political competition inside of the municipalities in the First Republic. Based on this theoretical construction, the article offers philosophical and institutional reflections on the role of municipalities in the early stages of the Brazilian constitutional republic.
