The infection of liberty has reached this country”: The First Liberal Attempts in Portugal Represented by the British Press
| Resumo: | The Liberal Revolution of 24 August 1820, in Oporto, marked the beginning of a more resonant and compelling effort to change the state of political affairs in Portugal, which had been significantly encouraged by the circulation, since the last quarter of the eighteenth century, of pre-liberal ideas and the profusion of conceptions of liberty and law that tried to fight against the old tendencies of the Old Regime, redefining the political contract between the people and the sovereign, under the mechanisms of juridical and parliamentary control. This rule represented a kind of political backbone of liberalism and constitutionalism that strengthened its position, both in theory and in practice, in many European and American states. |
