Portuguese Constitution Of 1838
The Political Constitution of the Portuguese Monarchy ''(Constituição PolÃtica da Monarquia Portuguesa)'' of 1838 was the third Portuguese constitution. After the September Revolution in 1836, the Constitutional Charter of 1826 was abolished and in its place the Constitution of 1822 was temporarily restored, while a constituent Cortes was convened to produce a new constitution. This was agreed, and Maria II swore an oath to it on 4 April 1838. It was a synthesis of the previous constitution of 1822 and 1826, with the establishment of an elected Senate rather than a House of Peers also drawn from the 1831 Constitution of Belgium and the Spanish Constitution of 1837. The French constitution of 1830 was also a source of influence. Its main features were the separation of legislative, judiciary and executive powers, a two chamber (Senate and Chamber of Representatives), the royal veto and administrative decentralisation. In addition, article 98 excluded from the royal succession the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Law Of Portugal
The Law of Portugal is the legal system that applies to Portugal. It is part of the family of the civil law legal systems, based on Roman law. As such, it has many common features with the legal systems found in most of the countries in Continental Europe. In the 19th century, the French civil law was the main influence in the Law of Portugal. However, since the early 20th century, the major influence has been the German civil law. This growing of the Germanistic influence was mainly driven by works on civil law developed by legal theorists of the University of Coimbra under the leadership of professor Guilherme Alves Moreira, who published his decisive ''Instituições de Direito Civil'' from 1906 to 1916. European Union law is now a major driving force in many respects, such as corporate law, administrative law and civil procedure. The Law of Portugal is the basis or, at least, influences more or less sharply the legal systems of the several countries of the Community of Por ...

Constitutional Charter Of 1826
The Charter of 1826 or ''Carta Constitucional'', often simply referred to as the ''Carta'', was the second constitution in Portuguese history. It was given to the country in 1826 by King Dom Pedro IV. The constitution remained in force, with the exceptions of the periods 1828–34 and 1838–42, until the fall of the monarchy in 1910. It was modified in 1852, 1865, 1896, and 1907. The constitution was modelled on the 1824 constitution that Pedro imposed on Brazil, which in turn was modelled on the failed 1822 Portuguese Constitution, which in turn was modelled on the Spanish Constitution of 1812. In contrast to the first constitution, the Portuguese Constitution of 1822, approved by the constitutional assembly or cortes (see the Liberal Revolution of 1820, the ''Carta'' was an imposed constitution issued by the king under his own authority without the involvement of the people.

Miguelista
In the history of Portugal, a Miguelist (in Portuguese language, Portuguese ''Miguelista'') was a supporter of the legitimacy of the king Miguel of Portugal, Miguel I of Portugal. The name is also given to those who supported Absolute monarchy, absolutism as form of government, in opposition to the liberals who intended the establishment of a constitutional regime in Portugal. Miguel was regent for his niece Queen Maria II of Portugal, and potential royal consort. However, he claimed the Portuguese throne in his own right on the grounds that the "Fundamental Laws of the Kingdom" deprived his elder brother Pedro I of Brazil, Pedro IV of his right to reign (and of any right of Pedro's daughter to inherit the kingdom from her father) when Pedro became sovereign of the former Portuguese colony of Brazil and launched war on Portugal to oust Miguel as a usurper. This overall led to a political crisis, during which many people were killed, imprisoned, persecuted or sent into exile, culm ...
