Everything about Francisco Narciso De Laprida totally explained
Francisco Narciso de Laprida (
October 28,
1786 in
San Juan –
September 22,
1829) was an
Argentine lawyer and politician. He was a deputy for
San Juan at the
Congress of Tucumán, and president of it on
July 9 1816, when the
Declaration of Independence of Argentina took place.
Laprida started his studies at the
Real Colegio de San Carlos in
Buenos Aires, after which he moved to
Santiago de
Chile to study Law at the
Universidad de San Felipe, where he graduated in 1810. He participated in the
Cabildo Abierto in Chile, one of the first steps towards the independence of that country.
In
1812 he returned to San Juan, where he was named trustee of the
Cabildo government house.
As such, Laprida collaborated with
José de San Martín in the organization of the
Ejército de los Andes. Because of his education in law and as an important local figure, he was sent to the
Tucumán Congress in
1815 as provincial deputy, together with Fray
Justo Santa María de Oro. As the congress had a rotating presidency, Laprida was selected for the presidency on
July 1, and was still its president 8 days later, when the
National Constitution was finished, and the independence of the country declared.
He returned to San Juan at the end of the deliberations, were he served as acting governor replacing
José Ignacio de la Roza; as interim governor he took a determined and tough line against the dissidents. At the end of his internship he represented his province again in
1824 at the General Constituent Congress, being its president for some months.
As member of the
Unitarian Party, the execution of
Manuel Dorrego meant a hard blow, after which Laprida returned to San Juan, to later flee
Manuel Oribe and
Facundo Quiroga's forces towards
Mendoza Province. On
September 22 1829, the men of
José Félix Aldao reached him and ended his life; his body wasn't recovered.
Jorge Luis Borges, loosely related to Laprida, recalled his death in his
"Poema Conjetural", dedicated to Laprida.
