During Costa e Silva's presidency, Institutional Act No. 5 was enacted. This act gave the president powers to dismiss the National Congress, strip politicians of their offices, and institutionalize repressive measures against left-wing dissidents. Costa e Silva's government started the most oppressive stage of the military dictatorship against opposition, left-wing activists, and suspected communists, which would be continued and expanded under his successor Emílio Garrastazu Médici.
