Before liberalism, the executive power was in the hands of the monarch. Usually, since the 1640 restoration of independence, there was a Secretary of the Mercies and Expedient. In the end of the 17th century another secretary of state post was created: Secretary of State of the Signature. On 28 July 1736 a reform instituted three secretaries of state: Secretary of State of the Internal Affairs of the Kingdom (equivalent to today's Minister of Internal Administration), Secretary of State of the Navy and Overseas Dominions, and Secretary of State of Foreign Affairs and War. Eventually another two post were created during the 18th and 19th centuries: Sec. St. of War (now separated), Sec. St. of Finanancial Affairs and Sec. St. of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice.

Usually, the most prominent post in Portuguese political life was that of Secretary of State of the Internal Affairs of the Kingdom (known sometimes as Minister of the Kingdom). Occasionally someone was chosen to the rare post of Minister Assistant to the Dispatch, a superior coordinator of all secretaries of state. This position can be equivalent to the post of Prime Minister, but was rarely used.

This major political figures before liberalism were removed since they didn't officially occupy the post of Prime Minister.

Fair use rationale for Image:Freitas do Amaral.gif

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image copyright problem with Image:Manuel Maria Coelho.jpg
The image Image:Manuel Maria Coelho.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.

António Costa
Why is Mr. Costa shown at the article's top in a box similar to the one in the "Prime Minister of Portugal" article? This is very irregular for Wikipedia, normally the incumbent is shown in a box in the article on the office (if it exists) and not in a full list, where he/she just appears at the end of the list and of a timeline. Counting the box at the top that shouldn't exist in the "List of Prime Ministers of Portugal" article, the full list and the timeline he is named THREE times; for a (so far) one term PM who has not ruled as long as Salazar this seems unjustified. The same thing happened in the Portuguese Wikipedia. Wikipedia does not exist for promoting incumbents. 89.153.61.163 (talk) 14:35, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
