From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The First Brazilian Senate met on May 6, 1826, at noon, where 31 senators witnessed the creation of the House. Of the 50 senators[1][2] with life tenure[3][4][5] chosen by the 19 provinces and the Emperor, nine were judges, seven came from the Church, four from the Army, in addition to two doctors, one lawyer and four landowners.[6] Almost half (23) would be raised to life peerage over time as barons, viscounts and marquises.

At that time, seats were distributed proportionally to the population of each province.
