This book examines the impact of American
Revolutionary ideals, state formation, and
constitution-making on Portugal during the 18th and
19th centuries. The transatlantic relationship
between these two nation-states was important for
the exchange of ideas to take place at various
levels: commercial, scientific, and political.
Personal relationships between Portuguese and
Americans individuals proved to be rich and critical
to the proliferation of political ideas between
Portugal and the United States. In the 18th and 19th
centuries, liberalism was prevalent amongst
intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic and it
was the basis for political transformation. Even
though Portugal had a censorship in the years of the
American Revolution, liberal ideas and revolutionary
ideas were readily available, thus aiding the
Portuguese in their formulation of a liberalism that
would fit their interests. The transatlantic flow of
ideas on constitutionalism was critical for the
Portuguese, because the American political
developments served as a model in Portugal, both for
the Liberal Revolution of 1820 and the Constitution
on 1822.
