Resumo(s)
This paper summarises the results of the first systematic, detailed prosopographic study of the
MPs – the deputados of the Lower Chamber - of the First Portuguese Republic (1910-1926). Data
are presented both by legislature and for the overall period. Two kinds of background variables are
explored: sociodemographic (birthplace, age, education and profession) and political (previous
experience in other elite positions). Regime change in 1910 resulted in the replacement of the
former political elite by homines novi. Most MPs of the Republican regime were born in small towns
and communities, had carried out higher educational studies (with prevalence for law training),
were mainly drawn from the professions (practising lawyers and doctors) and the Army, and were
elected for the first-time at relatively young ages. Parliamentary turnover was high (two-thirds
of the representatives held just one mandate) and a large proportion of MPs had a consistent
connection (birth, family ties, occupation) to the constituencies to which they had been elected.
