Resumo

© 2023, University of Passo Fundo. All rights reserved.This article deals with the disputes between the Executive and Legislative branches that led to the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly of 1823, in the early days of Independent Brazil, in a process that consisted of the first coup d'état in the history of the country. In it we approach the theoretical clashes about the locus in which popular sovereignty was deposited and the disputes to define the prerogatives of each of the powers. To do so, we analyze Pedro I's acclamation, the constitutional implications of the title attributed to him, and the differences between the text that was being discussed and the constitution granted by the Emperor on November 15, 1823.
