Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the rise of Minas Gerais and São Paulo politicians in the development of the Brazilian State between 1823 and 1834, considering two simultaneous and interrelated motions. The first concerns the field of power creation at the provincial level in São Paulo and Minas Gerais, in which will be prioritize the performance of provincial councils - the Conselho da Presidência and the Conselho Geral -, their relation to the legislative and executive branches, and their alliance in achieving a Empire entrenched at Rio de Janeiro. The goal is to examine how the organization of provincial powers managed to build the acceptance of constitutional monarchy amid other current proposals for the State organization at the time. The second movement refers to the projection of São Paulo and Minas Gerais in the political background of the Court, both in legislature issues, from 1826, and executives, especially after the Abdicação in 1831. It is intended, therefore, to discuss some peculiarities about the so-called \"Liberal Moderado, which got great sheltering in São Paulo, Minas Gerais and in the Court during the studied period, starting from the hypothesis that the role of São Paulo and Minas Gerais politicians, mainly during the constitutional reform which led to the Additional Act, in 1834, was permeated by concerns of local groups and influenced by political debate occurred at the provincial level (AU)
