The Peers Chamber. The building of a «new court» in the 19th century
Abstract
During the validity of the Constitutional Charter, the Portuguese legislator consecrated the creation of a new court, granting a legislative body, the Chamber of Peers, judicial powers that allowed them to know about the crime, recognizing personal privileges to some public figures. The situation was not an isolated case in the European context of the nineteenth century, yet this fact would not necessarily lead to the unanimous acceptation by the doctrine.
