The Brazilian nation-state coalesces in the 1840sas authorities suppress revolts and rewrite Brazilian law.
These laws, however, do not bode well for democracy because they shape an electoral system based on government-controlled fraud.
In 1842, on the advice of conservative courtiers, Pedro II uses his constitutional moderating power to dismiss the newly elected liberal Chamber of Deputies and call new elections, which the conservatives win by stuffing the ballot boxes.
In so doing, he sets a pattern of favoring conservatives over liberals.
