MARIA I] DISCIPLINA E ORGANIZAÇÃO DO EXÉRCITO — Regimentos, Conselhos de Guerra e Auditorias . 5 diplomas régios; Portugal, 1765–1789. A collection of five decrees concerning the internal discipline and judicial organization of the Portuguese Army. The military reform of the Josephite period, carried out under the direction of the Count of Lippe, sought to modernize the army according to Prussian and French models, providing it with uniform regulations, predictable military criminal procedures, and a clearly defined command hierarchy. September 6, 1765 (King José I) — Military discipline: orders that Laws and Regulations be read aloud and intelligibly in the Regiments twice a month; a measure to disseminate knowledge of the norm among the troops. 5 Nov 1765 (D. José I) — To remedy irregularities in the War Councils of the Troops; establishes certain and unalterable rules for their functioning; decree regulating the military criminal process and the guarantees of the accused. June 6, 1766 (King Joseph I) — Declares and expands the Royal Decree of July 15, 1763, which established the formation of the Army Artillery Regiments; inviolable observance of the established Plan. 5 August 1779 (D. Maria I) — Declares and modifies the Law of July 9, 1763 in paragraphs 17 and following, and the two Royal Decrees of the same date that established the Books of Regulations; administrative reorganization of the regulations. March 21, 1789 (Queen Maria I) — Abolishes the individual Military Courts of each Regiment, revoking the Military Regulations and the Decree of October 20, 1763; determines that military judges will now operate in a centralized manner; rationalization of military justice. The collection documents the evolution of military discipline and justice over two and a half decades: from the imposition of regulations on the court, from the regulation of War Councils to the extinction of Regimental Audits, in a movement towards the centralization of military administration. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
