Abstract

CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNMENT. Brazil was discovered on 3 May 1500 by the Portuguese Admiral Pedro Alvares Cabrai, and thus became a Portuguese settlement; in 1815 the colony was declared ‘a kingdom’, and on 13 May 1822 Dom Pedro, eldest surviving son of King Joào of Portugal, was chosen ‘Perpetual Defender’ of Brazil by a National Congress. He proclaimed the independence of the country on 7 Sept. 1822, and was chosen ‘Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender’ on 12 Oct. 1822. On 15 Nov. 1889 his only son, Dora Pedro II (1825–91), was dethroned by a revolution, and Brazil declared a republic.
