For this, we will investigate the process of making the Land Statute draft in executive and its approval in the National Congress.

The analysis of this documents allowed describe maneuvers of justification made by Castelo Branco presidency.
The development and the democracy was magnitudes used to legitimize the agrarian reform law.
The critics, on the other hand, argued that the brazilian rural problem wasn't the tenure system and, yes, the state's inability to produce policies aimed at modernization of the Brazilian countryside.
Despite these criticisms, the Castelo Branco government made agrarian reform draft, based in limited agrarian reform policies and wide rural development.
The approval of Land Statute, in National Congress, was permeate disputes, the main was the primary instrument of agrarian reform.
The parliamentarians approved the draft agrarian reform with distinct changes, the main was the removal of land taxation as an instrument of agrarian reform.
This change made him even more limited land reform present in the Land Statute.
