Jean-Pierre Landerset

Jean-Pierre Landerset (born April 9, 1781 in Friborg ; † May 29, 1849 there) was a Swiss politician and State Councilor of the canton of Friborg .

Life

He was a Catholic, from Freiburg and the scion of a family belonging to the city's privileged citizens. His parents were François-Xavier-Ignace-Jacques Landerset, officer in the French service, member of the Small Council and appellate judge, and Marie-Catherine nee. Raemy. He married Marie-Anne-Marguerite Chalamel in 1810 and Marie-Françoise Jendly in 1828.

Working as a lawyer since 1803, Landerset was a holder of the citizen hospital from 1814 to 1818. From 1814 to 1849, under three different forms of political rule, he sat as a liberal member of the Grand Council. He was Councilor of State twice, initially from 1836 to 1847. In a government that was becoming more and more conservative, he, like Hubert Charles and Romain Werro , opposed Freiburg's accession to the Sonderbund . Then he approached the radicals. On March 10, 1848, he was elected to the Council of State with 29 of 49 votes in the second ballot, Frédéric Bielmann being his main opponent. He headed the finance department (1848–1849). He succeeded in passing the less popular law of September 27, 1848 on the creation of a property, income and real estate tax and the law of January 27, 1849 on the organization of financial management. On May 29, 1849, at the age of 68, he died in the exercise of his office.
