A communist revolution broke out in 1935, although it, similar to the 1932 revolution, was effectively suppressed. However, a fascist revolution in 1938 led to a political crisis; Vargas, in the name of law and order, repealed the Constitution, abolished political parties, canceled the 1938 presidential elections, and pronounced a new Constitution–the 1937 "Estado Novo" Constitution. Vargas's powers were expanded exponentially–he abolished the legislative assembly and replaced most state governors with men he approved of, leading to a lack of any check on his powers and beginning the Third Brazilian Republic, or better known as the Estado Novo, where Vargas essentially became a dictator with unlimited powers from 1937 to 1945.
