- Devourism (Portuguese: Devorismo) was the pejorative term to describe the political regime which established itself in Portugal following the Liberal Wars, particularly during the period from 24 September 1834 to 9 September 1836, while the Constitutional Charter of 1826 was in effect. It was intended to convey a sense of unprincipled greed, whereby leading politicians spent public funds in abundance to secure personal gain for themselves or their associates. The term was coined after a piece of legislation was drafted on 15 April 1835, which provided for the sale of national property and property of the Catholic Church, and facilitated their disposal among leading members of the liberal party. One of the great reforms of this period was the reform of local administration, which divided the country into seventeen districts on 25 April 1835), also creating three new districts Madeira and the Azores. The position of Civil Governor was established, with postholders choosing mayors, who in turn chose parish commissioners. These reforms, with their substantially centralising effect, were used to steadily remove radicals from positions of power and replace them with those who had favoured the cause of Miguel I and the return of an absolute monarchy.

- Devorismo foi a designação, inicialmente pejorativa, dada ao grupo político que se instalou no poder nos anos imediatos à vitória liberal na Guerra Civil Portuguesa, em especial no período entre 24 de Setembro de 1834 e 9 de Setembro de 1836. Está em vigor a Carta Constitucional de 1826. De acordo com Oliveira Martins, o termo devorismo ou devoristas resulta de uma Carta de Lei datada de 15 de Abril de 1835, em que se colocavam à venda em hasta pública os bens nacionais, especialmente os da Igreja Católica, facilitando, assim, o acesso a estes bens aos chefes liberais. Uma das grandes reformas deste período é da administração nacional e local (25 de Abril de 1835), que dividia o país em dezassete distritos administrativos e as ilhas adjacentes em três. Passa, então, a existir a figura de Governador Civil (administradores dos distritos nomeados pelo rei), Administradores de Concelho (responsáveis pelos municípios, nomeados pelo Governo), e Comissários de Paróquia (responsáveis pelas freguesias, escolhidos pelos Administradores dos Concelhos).
