This work aims to investigate the relations that public authorities established with mutual aid and charitable societies in Brazil's Second Reign, during the effectiveness of Law no. 1,083 of August 22, 1860, revoked by Law no. 3,150 of November 4, 1882. Its legal provisions showed the attempt by the Imperial Government to establish procedures to determine the organization of civil and commercial associations in the Empire. In order to start their operations or to amend their statutes, the societies invariably had to send a request for consultation to the Business Section of the Empire's State Council. This study privileges the empirical approach by describing and analyzing opinions of State Councilors, statutes, minutes and other documents that gave voice to historical subjects when their collective representations began to pluralize the public space in the city of Rio de Janeiro, seat of the Court, forming networks of solidarity from collectively shared experiences. At that time, mutualism and charity became practices peculiar to the associative culture of various workers residing in Rio de Janeiro, whether rich or poor, Brazilians or foreigners, freemen or freedmen, black or white, male or female. They gathered in the defense of their interests, in order to ensure protection against insecurity and social risks to which they were subjected, acting, therefore, in the sphere of "public utility" and "public interest". All these aspects highlight the positioning of this Thesis in the sphere of History of Political Culture, a context in which the knowledge developed about sociabilities is in effervescent reconstitution. Their relations with the public authorities and their role in pluralizing the public space, in the collective strategies of social protection, in horizontal solidarities and moralities established collaborate in forming an approach that, far from be innovative in theme, brings its contribution to the history of civil associations in the second half of the 19th century and its importance in the formation of a civic culture in the seat of the Court during Brazil's Second Reign
