SUMMARY:

This thesis aims to investigate the relationship between constitutional ideas and political movements in Bahia between 1821 and 1823, problematizing the absorption of constitutionalism by the province's residents and the internal and external disputes with Portugal and the central government in Rio de Janeiro. Based on the crises of the Ancien Régime and their consequences for colonial territoriality, it seeks to interrogate the ways in which constitutionalism took shape in an ambivalent and indeterminate way, being reimagined and translated in American lands, often contrary to its revolutionary foundations. This research seeks to demarcate this space of ambiguous experience, through which the political projects of Bahia's landed elite and the negotiation and insurgent actions of popular movements took shape and content. Ambivalence and indeterminacy will be the guiding concepts of the analytical journey, and with this, we aim to test the thesis of the plurivocalization of constitutionalisms in Bahia and their idiosyncratic materialization in the territory of the Bahian Recôncavo during the War of Independence. The thesis draws on multiple temporal pluralities, where time as an analytical category offers a lens capable of discerning the internal and external dynamics of 19th-century political modernity and the spatial effects of its concreteness in Portuguese colonial territory. Finally, we utilize period works, documentation produced by the legal-political institutions created during the crisis of the Ancien Régime, primary and secondary sources, and the historiography that addressed the nineteenth century in Brazil and Bahia.
