| Abstract | |
This study analyses the parliamentary debates on press legislation and the publicity of the works of the Chamber of Deputies concerning the period between 1820 and 1840. These are issues closely related to the construction of a monarchic, constitutional and representative State, in the sense that freedom of expression - and therefore press freedom - are, together with the publicity of government acts, two of the pillars that sustain this system of government. The objective is to understand in what ways the legislators made these liberal concepts politically useful, as well as how were these concepts incorporated into the institutions of the Brazilian Empire.
