Abstract:
In Portugal, the inception and evolution of statutory copyright accompanied, very closely, a somewhat stormy constitutional history. The Napoleonic invasions, in the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the consequent swift migration of the Royal Family to the Vice-Kingdom of Brazil, led to a wave of protests that culminated in the Liberal Revolution of 1820. The protestors demanded, amongst other things, the immediate return of the Royal Court from Brazil and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in Portugal. The latter would emerge, with the first constitution, in 1822. The first constitution, the Constitution of 1822, set out a principle of freedom of literary and artistic creation and expression (Constitution of 1822, arts 7–8). By Patricia Akester
