SUMMARY:

This dissertation intends to reinterpret the 1881 electoral reform from the perspective of legalhistory. Among the electoral reforms during the Empire, the 1881 Act stands out for turningexclusion the rule as part of the project of the so-called politics of slavery at the end of theSecond Reign. Using the deracialized concept of political citizenship, established in the 1824Constitution, statesmen adopted literacy criteria as the legal for exercising political rights. Thepopulation data from the general census of the Brazilian Empire executed in 1872, along withthe construction of race and education statistics, allowed them to reflect upon and decidewhich electorate they wanted in the future. While the political intention expressed inhistoriography was to moralize the Empire’s electoral system through an electorate’s“depuration”, conflicts recognized in the process of normative creation disclosures theexclusion of black, free, and poor men, who ere familiar with voting in the two-tier system(1824-1881), was not only an expected outcome of the reform but also a foundation forinstitutional stability at the decline of the slave regime and a pact of exclusion ofconstitutional dimensions.
