Portuguese term

tendências políticas mais acentuadamente liberais ou conservadoras

Portuguese to English Art/Literary Government / Politics Academic abstract
Hi everyone! I'm translating the following academic abstract and am not sure how to translate 'tendências', considering that the text then says 'preocupadas'...there's probably an obvious solution but I'm drawing a blank. Thanks for your help!

13. Luzias e saquaremas em confronto: A organização judiciária como problema político no Brasil imperial
RESUMO
Este texto pretende demonstrar, com apoio no exame da legislação imperial em matéria de organização judiciária, como se operou a influência da superestrutura política imperial sobre a matéria jurídica. No curso da vigência do império brasileiro, ***tendências políticas mais acentuadamente liberais ou conservadoras***, preocupadas com a organização política do Estado imperial, com o conflito de interesses entre o governo imperial e as províncias e com o conteúdo e extensão dos direitos e garantias individuais, digladiaram-se em torno da legislação em matéria de organização judiciária visando conformá-la aos seus desígnios, numa evidente demonstração da interdependência entre as esferas da política e do direito.
Palavras-Chave: Estado Imperial – Organização Judiciária - Federalismo – Liberalismo.

the more liberal or conservative voices/movements

Since this is the subject of a highly complex sentence, you need "the," which is missing in the Portuguese. Also, I don't think you have to translate "acentuadamente" because "mais" says it all.
Peer comment(s):

agree andrescardoso : I would go with 'voices'. Just a few people were allowed in politics in those days.

The translation of the main parts of the sentence might be something like:
"During the term of the Brazilian Empire, political views more strongly liberal or conservative, concerned about the political organization of the imperial state,..., clashed around the legislation on judicial organization...".

Instead of "political views/trends/ideologies", maybe you can opt for "political parties" or even just "politicians".
