Abstract

The politics of the state of Paraíba is notable for the constancy of certain surnames. This family dominance can be observed when we analyze the presence of politicians who are relatives. This fact becomes even more evident when we focus on the positions of power they hold; these family groups thus comprise the state's political elite. One of the cases of this seizure is the Legislative Assembly of Paraíba (ALPB), where the presence of surnames in the legislature demonstrates how these positions are passed between members of these families. Given this, this work aimed to analyze this tradition from the framework of the Constituent Assembly of 1947, with the purpose of identifying and producing Historical-Biographical Entries on each of its deputies. Thus, it becomes the starting point for examining how members of this elite manage to occupy these spaces and remain there over the decades. To this end, this work was divided into three stages: 1. Construction of the Entry Model; 2. Organization of Research Sources; 3. Production of the Entries.
