| Abstract | |
The present thesis aims to study the two major political parties in the Brazilian monarchy, the so-called Conservative and Liberal parties, during the regime\'s final decades. Taking into account fundamental themes to the period\'s political strife, such as the electoral system, provincial autonomy and slavery, how major changes, throughout the 1880s affected the Empire\'s political party system. Those changes, recurrently discussed by historians, were driven by an aggravation of political tensions, together with the strenghtening of forces outside the traditional representative institutions, radicalized in those years. The emergence of an organized movement aiming to abolish slavery and the growing claims of the population for greater intervention in public affairs profoundly divided the country\'s political elite. If to some resistance was the only solution, others showed disposition in taking part in the advancement of a project of a Democratic monarchy, a term some of them used profusely. That project had, among its priorities, the unconditional abolition of slavery, the vigorous expansion of voting rights, the State reform, the concession of larger provincial autonomy and measures toward land reform.
