Short answer
Dates from the Republic and democratic transition help explain institutions. This is an educational selection, not an official examination syllabus.
From monarchy to republic
Connect the regime change with the transformation of national symbols. An isolated date explains less than the relationship between political regime, flag and anthem.
Confirmed by official source
The Republic was established on 5 October 1910.
Last checked:Confirmed by official source
The green and red flag was approved by the Provisional Government on 29 November 1910 and ratified by the National Constituent Assembly on 19 June 1911.
Last checked:25 April and the Constitution
Distinguish the revolution, constituent work and the Constitution’s entry into force. Approval did not take place on the day it entered into force. Build a chronology and identify each institution’s role.
Confirmed by official source
25 April 1974 ended the Estado Novo. The Constituent Assembly began work on 2 June 1975; the Constitution entered into force on 25 April 1976.
Last checked:A historical source does not describe the current State
The parliamentary chronology mentions bodies that existed in 1976. Use the current Constitution for today’s organisation. Do not copy a historical list as a contemporary one.
Confirmed by official source
The sovereign bodies are the President, Assembly of the Republic, Government and Courts. Courts are independent and subject to the law.
