Portuguese political contemporaneity arose on 24th August 1820. By keeping the Bragança dinasty, it was expected that the theoretical assumptions defining the King’s sovereignty would be replaced by those implying the nation’s sovereignty. Reaction was immediate. Everyone claimed to be liberal, but some felt reservations concerning certain principles of liberalism and proposed different political solutions. We intend to analyse authors of various opinions and therefore we named our article «Liberal Rainbow».
