Parlamentarismo às avessas: uma análise da arquitetura institucional do império brasileiro sob os auspícios da dinastia de Bragança
Abstract
This paper analyzes the institutional configuration of the Brazilian Empire through the lens of what has been termed “reverse parliamentarism,” highlighting the role of the House of Bragança in the State's political leadership. It examines the operation of the Moderating Power and its implications for the relationship between the Executive and the Legislative branches, showing how the concentration of power weakened parliamentary autonomy and shaped a distinctive institutional framework in nineteenth-century Brazil.
