ABSTRACT
The text analyzes the constitucional right to property in the Portuguese-Brazilian world in the midst of the wars of Independence. To this end, it points to the secondaryization of the theme by a classical historiography dedicated to Independence and highlights important advances more recently constituted. It then explores the meanings of the concept of property in the Constitutions of Portugal (1822 and 1826) and Brazil (1824) and the dynamics of the negotiations that culminated with the signing of the Peace and Alliance Treaty and the institution of the Brazil-Portugal Joint Commission, responsible for analyzing complaints about the losses that Portuguese and Brazilians suffered during the wars. However, it highlights the previous discussion about the reimbursement of possible losses, in relation to negotiations on the Recognition of Independence, based, we believe, in precepts that earned constitutional forum at that time.
