| Summary |
The "Constituição politica da Monarchia portugueza" by Portugal is a historical account written during the early 19th century, specifically in the early 1830s. This official constitution details the political structure and foundational principles governing the Portuguese monarchy, emphasizing the relationships between the monarchy, the state, and its citizens. It serves as a critical document in understanding the evolution of Portugal's political landscape during a time of significant change. The constitution outlines various aspects of governance, including the definition of Portuguese citizenship, the rights and guarantees afforded to citizens, and the distribution of political powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It specifies the monarch's role, the responsibilities of the Cortes (the legislative body), and the administrative framework for governing both the mainland and the overseas provinces. Key provisions include the establishment of individual rights, electoral processes, and the mechanisms for constitutional reform, reflecting the ideals of representative governance and the emerging principles of modern democracy during this pivotal period in Portuguese history.
