Abstract

The present dissertation is inserted in the historiographic debate about the representative government of the 19th century and in the liberal experience developed in the Brazilian Constitutional Monarchy. From this vast field, the strategy consisted of analyzing the institutional dynamics based on a study of the political groups that were present in parliament and in the party press in the years between 1860 and 1870, whose discussions focused on restrictions regarding the use of slave labor and later to the captive emancipation project in the period. Despite the many setbacks and advances, in a rough and non-linear process, the agenda was built between the years 1860 and 1868 by progressives, who defended, both in the two parliamentary Houses, and in the press of the capital of the Empire, of São Paulo and Pernambuco, that the moment was favorable for the approval of legislative measures on the subject. From the ministerial inversion of 1868, the debate was not forgotten and even in the midst of a government in an adverse position to the advancement of such discussions, composed by the viscount of Itaboraí, saquarema conservative, projects were presented in the Chamber of Deputies by moderate conservatives between 1869 and 1870. The path designated at the beginning of the decade was resumed over the years and with the participation of the monarch and the cabinet headed for the third time by Zacarias de Góes e Vasconcellos, from 1866 on, it was configured in 1870 as a point of arrival and advance of the debates: Brazilian emancipation would go through decisions about the body of the slave woman, generating new captives.
