Abstract

The following work aims to investigate the Luso-Brazilian constitutionalist movement at the turn of the nineteenth century in light of a possible cultural appropriation of Sebastianism present in political and religious culture, based on religious sermons, weekly newspapers, and journals. Sebastianism assumed various forms, with all of these linked to situations of difficulty. Purported to overcome Sebastianist Messianism, modern constitutionalism in Portugal and Brazil, on the other hand, may have been experienced as a solution for all political and social evils, establishing a time of justice, joy, and peace under the mantle of the Catholic Faith, an instrument harnessed to facilitate the transition from the old to a new regime.
