Resumo
In this article, we consider petitionary devices and
its uses in the Independence of Brazil, taking into account both
the contemporary political reflection on the meanings of what
would come to be called the “right to petition” and the social
practices it encompassed. To achieve this goal, we analyze, at
first, the debates in the Lisbon Courts about constitutionalizing
of the right to petition; then, the discussions in the Constituent
Assembly of the Empire of Brazil in 1823, which focused, above
all, on the processing and forwarding of petitions. Finally,
based on the analysis of the Assembly's documentation, we
present a proposal for categorizing the petitions and discuss
the specific uses of the mechanism. We defend the hypothesis that the vast majority of petitions that reached the constituent
deputies in Rio de Janeiro were, in fact, already known forms
of petitioning in the Portuguese Ancien Régime; in addition,
we shed light on the fact that many of them have not been
processed, it´s a reflection of the overlapping of the projection
of one “right to petition” by the existing petitioning practice.
