« The monument commemorates the oath taken by King João VI to the Spanish Constitution of 1812, thus implementing “a new liberal order in the Portuguese-Brazilian empire” by adopting the great charter of the European country.
The Constitution of Cádiz provided liberal precepts that served as a basis for Brazilian independence movements and the elaboration of future constitutions”, added the information.
