Question 14 - IFTO Unified Entrance Exam - 2019/1 - Read the fragment below and identify the incorrect sentence:
“The constitution of 1824 sought to guarantee individual and economic freedom and ensure the full right to property. (...) For the men who made independence, people educated in the European style, representatives of the dominant categories, the right to property, liberty and security guaranteed by the Constitution was something very real. It didn't matter to this elite if the majority of the nation was composed of a human mass for which constitutional rights had no validity whatsoever. (...) The Constitution affirmed the freedom and equality of all before the law, but the majority of the population remained slaves. Property rights were guaranteed, but, according to some estimates, 95% of the population, when not slaves, were made up of “residents” of farms, on other people's land, who could be sent away at any time. Torture was abolished, but in the slave quarters the instruments of punishment such as the trunk, the gargalheira and the whip continued to be used, and the lord was the supreme judge of the life and death of his men.”
