Abstract

The political practice of the First Republic deeply frustrated all waiting for the advent of a golden era of Brazilian democracy. Although historians explain this disappointment from a hypothetical perversion of the liberal Republican project, by conservative politicians, we must ask whether the project Republican victory in 1889 was not aristocratic in their own general assumptions. The paper aims to highlight the characteristics of the aristocratic/oligarchic republican propaganda, relating them to the public debate between liberals and conservatives during the constitutional process of 1889-1891.
