Autor: Pinto, Luís Valença
Resumo: Over the last two centuries, the progress on the understanding of war determined the
evolution of the concept of security. The ideas related to liberalism were influential for that
purpose. Over that period, it was possible to examine the notions of war, strategy, and
security, and to deepen the understanding of their models. In what concerns security, there
has been an evolution from national security to collective security and to the current model
of cooperative security, attentive to the human dimension and containing the ideas of liberty,
democracy and liberalism.2021-12-01T00:00:00ZPopular judges and judges of law during liberalism. Portugal (1820-1841)Subtil, Joséhttp://hdl.handle.net/11144/52942022-10-12T11:16:51Z2021-12-01T00:00:00ZTítulo: Popular judges and judges of law during liberalism. Portugal (1820-1841)

Resumo: The theme of justice was much discussed and considered as the most important for the new
liberal regime. The political confrontation marked the boundaries between the most radical,
moderate, conservative and reactionary liberal factions. The options swung between a popular
model of justice and an elitist one, going through hybrid choices. The main occasions of these
choices were the 1822 Constitution, the 1826 Constitutional Charter, the 1832 Mouzinho da
Silveira Reform, the 1837 New Reform (setembrista), the 1838 Constitution and the 1841
Newest Reform (cabralista). This text analyzes the definition of the liberal justice model.2021-12-01T00:00:00ZThe Constitutional Charter of 1826 and the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies.

Resumo: The right to dissolve the elected chambers of parliaments was generally enshrined in the
European liberal constitutions of the 19th century as one of the prerogatives of the heads of
state in exercising the executive power assigned to them. In Portugal, the Constitutional
Charter of 1826 instituted a fourth power – the Moderating Power – which added to the
traditional legislative, executive and judicial powers and belonged exclusively to the monarch,
in addition to the executive power, of which he was the head. Under the influence of Benjamin
Constant, one of the royal powers within the scope of the moderating power was the
dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, which the monarch could decree whenever “the
salvation of the State” required it. It was an exceptional measure that should only be used in
extreme cases of national political life. However, this royal prerogative became trivialized,
becoming a political means used by governments to obtain parliamentary majorities through
the use of fraudulent elections. Political practices departed significantly from the constitutional
norm and dissolutions of the elective chamber would come to play an important role in the
functioning of the regime.
This paper examines the constitutional norms and analyses the ten dissolutions of the
Chamber of Deputies decreed between 1834 and 1865, highlighting the enormous gap that
separates the formal constitution from the real constitution, resulting from the political
practices of the agents of power and of the institutions themselves.2021-12-01T00:00:00Z
