FERNANDES, Renata Silva. From one revolution to the other: The government of the provinces and the independence of Brazil. Sig. his [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.46, pp.202-239.  Epub Oct 04, 2021. ISSN 1665-4420.

The purpose of this article is to analyze revolutionary, anti-revolutionary and counter-revolutionary dynamics inscribed in the process of Independence of Brazil, departing from the topic of the government of the provinces. To that end, I will first investigate the creation of the provisional government Juntas, within the scope of the Portuguese vintista movement, and their impact on America through the case of the province of Minas Gerais. Secondly, I will tackle the discussions within the General Constituent and Legislative Assembly of the Empire of Brazil, responsible for the extinction of the provisional Juntas and creation of a new form of provincial government. Using these ideas, I will conclude that the political clashes of the period resulted in a revolution in the name of the order whose purpose suited the conservative liberal thought then prevalent.

Keywords : governing juntas; presidents for the provinces; government councils; order; Brazilian Empire.
