Abstract

This paper analyses representative government in 19th century Brazil from two focal points: citizenship and the debates concerning elections. By doing so, it fosters a dialogue with Hilda Sabato's essay as it demonstrates that during the constitutional monarchy in Brazil political representation was also fundamental for the regime, placing specific dilemmas and challenges to a newly independent Nation.
