The second Alexander Frick cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 8 March 1951 to 31 December 1957. It was appointed by Franz Joseph II and chaired by Alexander Frick.
The cabinet succeeded the First Alexander Frick cabinet on 8 March 1951 with Alexander Frick continuing as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[1] [2] The cabinet remained following the February 1953, June 1953 and 1957 general elections.
The government's term was characterized by the transformation of Liechtenstein into a modern welfare state. In 1952 it succeeded in introducing pensions and survivors insurance via a referendum on the subject despite resistance from local businesses and agricultural establishments, followed by the introduction of family compensation in 1957.[3] [4]
