• The image represents the gratitude of black people for Independence, which brought benefits and more quality of life to all Brazilians.

• Brazil's Independence brought freedom and equality to the entire population, including enslaved people, who now had the same rights as other citizens.

During the First Reign, between 1822 and 1831, there was a concern to consolidate the independence of Brazil and organize the structures of the new State. This involved, for example:

• Create national symbols such as the emperor's crown and the royal palace.

• Create the three powers that would govern the new country.

• Instituted secret voting to elect the president of the country.

• Caused dissatisfaction in several provinces, leading to rebellions such as the Confederation of the Equator and the Sabinada.

• Created the Moderating Power, which gave the Emperor almost absolute powers.

• Declared the end of slavery in Brazil.

The monarchical period in Brazil is usually divided into three distinct moments: First Reign (1822-1831); Regencies (1831-1840) Second Reign (1840-1889). About the main issues that marked these moments, mark the incorrect alternative.
