Constitutionalist RevolutionDay (São Paulo)
Constitutionalist Revolution Day on July 9 commemorates the 1932 uprising in São Paulo demanding Brazil's constitutional rule.
On July 9, 1932, citizens of São Paulo took up arms against the federal government in protest of the 1930 coup by Getúlio Vargas. The three-month conflict, known as the Constitutionalist Revolution, highlighted regional calls for democratic governance and respect for state autonomy. Today, the state observes memorial ceremonies, parades, and public lectures on this pivotal moment in Brazilian history. Monuments and museums across São Paulo pay tribute to the volunteers and leaders who fought for constitutional restoration. The day serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of civil rights and federalism in Brazil.
