^lpt^aAs aspirações essenciais da Revolução de 1820 foram asseguradas sobretudo em décadas posteriores e em termos algo diferentes dos inicialmente pensados. O artigo identifica três aprendizagens feitas pelos liberais, refletidas nos textos constitucionais: a do princípio da soberania da nação com que deram à Constituição de 1822 a supremacia do Parlamento, algo desligada da realidade; a do pragmatismo com que aceitaram a supremacia ao poder régio na Carta Constitucional de 1826, assim derrotando o regime absolutista em termos militares e em reformas socioeconómicas e administrativas; e a do consenso com que venceram graves discórdias internas, traduzido na reforma da Carta (Ato Adicional de 1852). Com toda esta experiência puderam consolidar o regime liberal e cumprir enfim o sonho dos revolucionários de 1820.^len^aThe essential aspirations of the Revolution of 1820 were ensured mainly in later decades and in terms different from those initially thought. The article identifies three lessons learned by liberals, reflected in constitutional texts: that of the principle of the sovereignty of the nation with which they gave the 1822 Constitution the supremacy of Parliament, somewhat disconnected from reality; that of pragmatism with which they accepted the supremacy to the royal power in the Constitutional Charter of 1826, thus defeating the absolutist regime in military terms and in socioeconomic and administrative reforms; and that of the consensus with which they won serious internal disagreements, translated into the reform of the Charter (Additional Act of 1852). With all this experience they were able to consolidate the liberal regime and finally fulfil the dream of the revolutionaries of 1820.
