Summary: The primary objective of our work is to understand the monarchist political vocabulary in the political language of João Camilo de Oliveira Torres, as well as the construction of his critique of the Brazilian presidential system. An intellectual from Minas Gerais, João Camilo did not complete any higher education course, which was not an impediment for him to carry out his constitution as an intellectual. A career civil servant, he acted politically through articles published in periodicals and newspapers, in addition to writing books focused on Brazilian political and social reality, starting his public activities in the 1930s, within a conservative political perspective. Among his legacy is his collection History of Political Ideas in Brazil, long out of print and recently reprinted by the Chamber of Deputies. As the political thought of João Camilo is the object of our research, we will have as a research source his History of Political Ideas, as well as his articles published in other media. We anchor ourselves in Jean François Sirinelli (2000) in order to understand the role of the intellectual in the issues of his time, as well as in Reinhart Koselleck, in order to place João Camillo's performance within the binomial space of experience/horizon of expectations. The methodology on which this work is based is the one known as the Collingwoodian approach, according to the contributions of Quentin Skinner and John G. Pocock, among others, to understand João Camilo's political thought, reconstituting his context of action, through his political language.
