Constituição politica da Monarchia portugueza

Constituição politica da Monarchia portugueza by Portugal offers a compelling window into Portugal’s 19th-century constitutional identity and imperial reach under Queen Maria II. This 1838 constitutional text lays out the foundations of the Portuguese state—defining the nation, its extensive European, African, and Asian territories, the Catholic Apostolic Roman religion of the state, and the hereditary, representative monarchy under the House of Bragança. It also codifies citizenship criteria, territorial claims, and the legal relationship between crown, people, and colonies. Rooted in the turbulent aftermath of the Liberal Wars and the era’s constitutional reforms, the work reveals how law, monarchy, and empire were woven together to assert national sovereignty and organize governance across continents. Themes of state religion, citizenship, imperial jurisdiction, and constitutional legitimacy recur throughout, making the document an essential primary source for understanding Portugal’s legal and political priorities in the early 19th century. Perfect for readers of history, constitutional law, and colonial studies, this historical non-fiction audiobook is ideal for historians, legal scholars, students, and anyone interested in the development of modern Portuguese institutions and imperial law.
