Abstract
. During the construction of the contemporary Portuguese state, the growing predominance of executive power was a decisive factor in the transition from revolution to stabilization. Within this process, the monarchy evolved towards a parliamentary government, which became the only feasible model. For the republic however, there were alternatives: presidentialism, parliamentarism borrowed from monarchy, and various combinations thereof. Like other European countries, Portugal built its contemporary state on the foundations of the monarchy, successively establishing the models most appropriate for the time and most acceptable to political doctrines: first, the revolutionary model which produced an Assembly monarchy, then the parliamentary government, which adapted monarchy to constitutionalism.
