Apontam-se insuficiências e incongruências da reflexão normativa utilitarista à luz de exigências igualitárias inscritas na cultura política moderna. Essa constatação conduz o trabalho a explorar as raízes dessas dissonâncias, o que se faz através de uma discussão sobre a natureza e a adequação da interpretação utilitarista às ideias de bem-estar e de consequencialismo moral, centrais à abordagem filosófica em questão.

From the studies of all episodes of cabinet replacements during the historical period mentioned, a classification of the reasons that motivated its withdrawals were elaborated, focusing on the eventual political action of the Crown and the House of Representatives in these events. To the contrary of what is believed by conventional literature, which highlights the independent role of the Crown in the substitution of the governments, this text notices that real or potential conflicts between the cabinets and the Legislative Power, in special the House, were the main factors associated with government turnover during the Second Empire. It explores, from there, the hypothesis that the introduction of "district" electoral rules in the political system of that time, starting from the 1850s, in substitution of the former regime of slates ("chapas"), changing the incentives which the main imperial political agents were submitted, played a leading role in those conflicts, contributing thus to explain the instability mentioned before.
