Abstract

The project hereby introduced is part of an undergraduate group research project whose central subject is the role played by the municipal councils during the process of Brazilian Independence. The councils of various provinces are understood as important institutional foundations in the political dynamics which resulted in the shift of the Portuguese Monarchy into a constitutional form of government, the Independence of Brazil and the formation of the Brazilian Empire. This report aims to present the chief purposes, problems and stages of this group research as well as the individual project dealing specifically the local councils of Minas Gerais, Goiás e Mato Grosso.
