EnglishFrom October 1, 1820, onwards, the unification of the Provisional Government of Oporto, established with the revolution of August 24, with the Interim Government of Lisbon, set up on September 15, the idea of a “political regeneration” of the Country based on the convening of the Cortes for the adoption of a Constitution was definitly consolidated. However, since the traditional Portuguese Cortes had not been covened for more than a century, the question arose as to what would be the best national representation system, suited to the conditions of the nineteenth century. In order to reach an answer, the Junta Preparatoria of the Cortes promoted an extensive external consultation procedure on October 6, 1820. More than two thousand invitations were issued requesting the opinion of knowlegeable and enlightened individuals, as well as of the two mais scientific institutions, the University of Coimbra and the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon, on the best way to convene the future Constituent Cortes. This article brings to light the unpublished opinion of doctor Antonio de Almeida, who proposed an original political representation scheme of a corporatist nature. Regardless of the repercussion it may have had at that time, today it is another unique fragment of the constituent procedure of 1820, wich illustrates a remarkable, yet unknown, page of the history of political representation in Portugal. portuguesA partir do dia 1 de outubro de 1820, a unificacao da Junta Provisoria de Governo do Porto, instituida com a revolucao de 24 de agosto, com o Governo Interino de Lisboa, nomeado no dia 15 de setembro, ficou consolidada a ideia de uma “regeneracao politica” do Pais, assente na convocacao das Cortes para a elaboracao de uma Constituicao. No entanto, como as Cortes portuguesas nao reuniam ha mais de um seculo, levantou-se a questao de saber qual seria o melhor sistema de representacao nacional, adequada as luzes do seculo XIX. Para tentar obter resposta, numa primeira manifestacao do principio da soberania nacional, a Junta Preparatoria das Cortes promoveu uma extensa “consulta externa”, por portaria de 6 de outubro de 1820, particularmente dirigida a sociedade letrada. Foram emitidas mais de duas mil circulares a solicitar a opiniao de individuos letrados e esclarecidos, bem como das instituicoes cientificas da Universidade de Coimbra e da Academia das Ciencias de Lisboa, sobre a convocacao das futuras Cortes Constituintes. Este artigo traz a colacao o parecer inedito do medico Antonio de Almeida, que propos uma original representacao politica nacional de indole corporativista. Independentemente da repercucao que possa ter tido naquela epoca, hoje e mais um fragmento impar do processo constituinte de 1820, que ilustra uma notavel pagina desconhecida da historia da representacao politica em Portugal.
