Abstract

The following work aims to analyze aspects of the Liberal Revolution of Porto key to a study of constitutionalism in the Luso-Brazilian world and the appropriation of contractualism by Brazilian deputies in the Brazilian parliament’s first six years since its founding. We focus on echoes of the ideology of Vintismo and how deputies Bernardo Pereira de Vasconcelos and Jose Lino Coutinho appropriated the concept of a social pact (or social contract), as well as other related key concepts, including those of nation, sovereignty, and citizenship present in the political imaginary of the process shaping the Brazilian nation. In order to analyze the period from 1826 to 1831, spanning as it does the earliest legislation for the Brazilian parliament and the end of the Primeiro Reinado , we focus on the annals of the Chamber of Federal Deputies. Such sources are key to an analysis of how these social agents – components of political and intellectual elites – considered the concepts highlighted here.
