Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyse the behaviour of the representatives elected by Grão-Pará in the first legislature of the Brazilian Empire. Besides appointing the liaisons of those representatives both in province and in Court, this article intends to demonstrate that those parliamentarians had a similar conduct: all of them had the priority of proposing laws to make an immediate intervention to change the flow of the people and the goods in the territory of Pará. Behind those initiatives was the desire to increase the internal cohesion in Grão-Pará and to improve the integration of the province in the rest of the Empire. During the debates about those bills, different meanings about the concept of political representation in Senate and in Camera emerged too.
