Fernando Antonio Elizalde Marticorena (died 1842) was a Chilean lawyer, judge and politician.
He served as acting Minister of Finance under Supreme Directors Bernardo O'Higgins and Ramón Freire, as President of the Chamber of Deputies, and as a member of both chambers of the National Congress of Chile. He also presided over the Congress of Plenipotentiaries in 1830.[1]
During this period, he participated in the commissions on War and Navy, and Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs. He also served on the Permanent Commission of Congress during the parliamentary recesses of 1832–1833 and 1833–1834.[1]
Elizalde attended the Grand Convention of 1833, which prepared the Chilean Constitution of 1833.[1]
Education
Elizalde studied canon and civil law at the Royal University of San Felipe, obtaining his bachelor's degree on 8 January 1817. He qualified as a lawyer on 22 December 1818.[1]
He entered the judiciary in the early republican period. On 17 January 1824, he was appointed a judge of first instance, although he resigned three days later. In 1827, he became a prosecutor of the Santiago Court of Appeals and was appointed a judge of the same court on 13 August that year. In 1837, he served as acting prosecutor of the Supreme Court of Chile.[1]
Political career
Ministerial service
During the government of Supreme Director Bernardo O'Higgins, Elizalde served as acting Minister of Finance from 8 to 28 January 1823. His service ended with the resignation of O'Higgins and the establishment of a provisional governing junta.[1]
He returned briefly to the same portfolio between 4 and 8 April 1823, during the provisional administration of Supreme Director Ramón Freire. Both appointments were temporary rather than permanent ministerial tenures.[1]
Chamber of Deputies
Elizalde was elected substitute deputy for Parral and titular deputy for Aconcagua for the 1824–1825 legislative period. Following the resignation of Juan José Manzano, who had not taken his seat, Elizalde chose to represent Parral.[1]
During this term, he served as secretary of the Chamber of Deputies on 8 April 1825 and became its vice-president on 22 April. He also participated in the Permanent Commission on Finance.[1]
In 1828, Elizalde was elected deputy for San Carlos to the General Constituent Congress and continued representing the constituency during the 1828–1829 legislative period. He participated in the commissions on Justice and Finance.[1]
On 2 January 1829, he became President of the Chamber of Deputies, succeeding Rafael Bilbao. He remained in office until 31 January 1829, when the legislative period ended. Melchor de Santiago-Concha y Cerda subsequently assumed the presidency of the Chamber when Congress reconvened in August.[1][2]
Congress of Plenipotentiaries
In 1830, Elizalde represented the province of Chiloé in the Congress of Plenipotentiaries. Initially elected as a substitute, he became a titular representative following the resignation of Carlos Rodríguez Erdoíza.[1]
He served as president of the Congress from 12 April to 18 May 1830, succeeding Manuel José Cardoso Cuhes and preceding José Antonio Rodríguez Aldea. He subsequently served as vice-president from 18 August 1830.[1][3]
Senate
For the 1831–1834 legislative period, Elizalde was elected senator for Valdivia and substitute deputy for Parral. He chose to serve in the Senate, taking his seat on 30 May 1832.[1]
He was subsequently elected senator for the 1834–1837 legislative period and served on the Conservative Commission during the parliamentary recess of 1834–1835.[1]
Re-elected for the 1837–1843 legislative period, Elizalde participated in the commissions on Finance and Government and Foreign Relations. He also served as vice-president of the Senate from 1 June 1837 to 1 June 1839.[1]
Elizalde remained a senator until his death in 1842, before the conclusion of his final legislative term.[1]
