biography
The son of a notary attended the college in Pruntrut and then studied law at the Universities of Dijon and Paris . From 1833 he worked as a lawyer in Pruntrut , from 1835 also as a notary. Elsasser was initially liberal, but gradually turned to the Catholic Conservatives. The reason for this was the adoption of the Baden Articles by the Grand Council of the Canton of Bern in 1836 : Their implementation led to a popular uprising in the Catholic part of the Bernese Jura, which was suppressed by military means.
In 1846 Alsatian was a member of the Constitutional Council . The Grand Council, which had a narrow conservative majority after the elections of 1850, elected him to the government council. He was responsible for the Justice and Police Directorate, but resigned from office only two years later. Elsässer ran in the National Council elections in 1851 and was elected in the constituency of Jura . Three years later he waived re-election. In 1857 another candidacy was unsuccessful.
Alsatian was an uncle of the politician Casimir Folletête .
