A suspensão constitucional no Pará com a lei nº 26 de 22 de setembro de 1835 e as medidas para a repressão aos cabanos (1835-1840)

Abstract

This The present dissertation analyzes the creation of Law nº 26 of September 22, 1835, which suspended in the province of Pará the § 6º, 7º, 8º, 9º and 10º paragraphs of Article 179 of the Constitution for a period of six months, as an extraordinary measure taken by the deputies and senators of the Brazilian Parliament to contain the “revolt” hut, as well as the sending of two highly respected marshals (Jorge Rodrigues and Soares d’Andrea) to restore the imperial order in the province, using the said Law as a strategy in war against the huts. Thus, this dissertation goes beyond the understanding of the discussions in the Parliament between the deputies and senators that led to the creation of the Law, but also aims to understand how the marshals Jorge Rodrigues and Soares d’Andrea interpreted and used the Law in the fight against cabins Finally, he analyzes the strategies of “pacification” and repression in the province of Pará created by Soares d’Andrea during his government, such as recruitment for the police guard and the corps of workers and resistance to these recruitments.
