History

Upon his assumption to office, Morales charges all ministerial portfolios to Casimiro Corral as secretary general pending the formation of a proper ministerial cabinet. A full council of ministers was appointed on 22 June 1871, 5 months into his mandate, composed of five ministers. In this cabinet, the Ministry of Industry, formed by the government of Mariano Melgarejo in 1869, was abolished. Its portfolios were reassigned to the Ministry of Public Instruction and to an entirely new department, the Ministry of Justice.[5]

A new cabinet was formed on 22 October 1871. With it, the number of ministries was reduced from five to four with the Ministry of Public Instruction being merged into the Ministry of Justice and the industry portfolio becoming annex of the Ministry of Finance.[6] Morales was assassinated on 27 November 1871 and was succeeded the following day by Tomás Frías. Under Frías, this cabinet remained intact for the majority of his term before finally being reformed on 27 January 1873.
