This work analyzes the first chamber of deputies elected by direct vote. This chamber result for electoral reform law, 1881, called "Lei Saraiva" (Saraiva's Law). The direct vote was the mainly Project of Liberal Party program in 1869. The objectives were to have liberal and conservatives politicians in the same proportion in the Chamber of Deputies and change the tradition of fraud and violence. Based on these arguments, the direct vote was introduced in Brazil, but illiterate people and workers could not to vote. The reform had success and both the parties had deputies in the new legislature (1881-1884). In this context, the situation party and the opposite party was represented by legislature. However, the governance of the Liberal Party had problems because of the actions of the Conservatives struggling against ministries. There were also based coalitions on common interests above political rivalries. This consensus was guided by the defense of order and property, giving conservative tone to the debates inside the chamber and, at the same time, the Conservative Party had political protagonism. The research analyzes the dominance of conservative ideas articulated the two parties in the Chamber. I use the concept of conservatism, reconstruct the trajectory of imperial parties in connection with the discussion of political representation and observe the Chamber of 1881 as conservatism scenario, denying progressive political expectations. The dynamics of this parliament was analyzed by parliamentary debates. I identify conservative speeches by political liberals; analyze the partisan organization in voting and the articulation between situation and opposition in the projects presented by the government.
