Abstract

The main goal of this article is to discuss, in a historical, political and
constitutional point of view, seven of the Constitutional projects presented to the
Portuguese National Constitutional Assembly in 1911. Several divergences
emerge about these projects, mainly due to the different opinions regarding what
should and what should not be established in the Constitution of 1911, its form
of State, form of Government and its system. A theoretical vision is also presented
on these three topics, highlighting the republican institutional model’s alternative
proposals.
