SUMMARY:
This paper analyzes an administrative body of the municipality of Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro, during the final years of the first half of the 19th century – the Itaguaí City Council. Antônio Rodrigues de Azevedo, a Portuguese man, settled in Itaguaí in 1823 with the purpose of working as a clerk for a trading company. Twenty-three years after his arrival in the municipality, he was found holding the position of councilman and, at times, president of the Itaguaí City Council. Despite having contributed to the process and consolidation of Independence under the figure of Emperor Pedro I, the municipal chambers in the central-southern region of Brazil had their autonomy reduced during the Empire in comparison with the colonial period legislation. Much of this can be attributed to the creation of the provincial government, which, in the final years of the first half of the 19th century, held considerable power over localities. In addition to mediating communication between the municipal councils and the central government, especially with the Emperor, the provincial government also began to legislate and intervene more directly in the functioning of the municipal councils of the Empire. Thus, starting from the councilman position of Antônio Rodrigues de Azevedo, this study aims to understand the organization, functionality, and the main issues discussed in the Itaguaí City Council from 1846 to 1850, highlighting the interventions of the provincial government of Rio de Janeiro, which benefited from its geographical proximity and from having members who also served in the central government to advance its interests.
