Organised jointly by the Assembleia da República and the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, the exhibition has been curated by two distinguished coordinators, the historians Fernando Catroga and Pedro Tavares de Almeida, with the support of the Documentation, Information and Communication Services Directorate of the Assembleia da República. Thanks to them and their colleagues, it has been possible to organise and select the exhibition material and produce this catalogue to which various scholars and academics have contributed. We hope that visitors and readers will find their work useful and will reflect at leisure and in an informed way about the period of institutional and political life in our country which is now being celebrated. Setting the proclamation of the Republic (1910) in the preceding context of liberalism and constitutional monarchy which began in 1820, and continuing until the extinction of parliamentary democracy in 1926, the exhibited documents also shine light on the issues of citizenship and political representation over time, in which the centrality of the institution of Parliament is always present. Jaime Gama President of the Assembleia da República 11 Portuguese Constitutionalism: from the 1820 Liberal Revolution to Republicanism In 2006, the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal began to make plans for its contribution to mark the centenary of the Republic, which were set in motion the following year. The programme for 2010 includes a diverse array of initiatives, with the support of the Assembleia da República following the signing of a cooperation protocol on 29 July 2009. The exhibition Res Publica: Citizenship and Political Representation in Portugal, 1820-1926, curated by Fernando Catroga and Pedro Tavares de Almeida, constitutes one of the most important commemorative initiatives and will take place simulta- neously in two different locations, São Bento Palace, the seat of legislative power, and the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal. The exhibition, which is complemented by a companion book, intends to contextualise the republican regime in the history of Portuguese constitutionalism from which it arose. The rich and tumultuous history of national politics from 1820 to 1926, which saw three Constitutions (1822, 1838 and 1911) in the wake of a similar number of revolutions and, most significantly, the protracted duration of the 1826 Constitutional Charter, ratified by D. Pedro, and its successive later amendments provide ample material for the wide and diverse collection of works by historians and jurists published in this volume. These works make a significant contribution towards a deeper understanding of republican constitutional genesis, highlighting the continuities and breaks in monarchic constitutionalism and, even, the differences between the proposals of the Portuguese Republican Party prior to 5 October and the options later approved by the majority of the republican Constituent Assembly members, such as the paradigmatic case of the failure to fulfil the promise to widen the electoral base through the enfranchisement of women. One of the most 12 striking examples of breaking with Portuguese constitutional tradition follows from
