Early life

Paris, and began the practice of law in his native town. He identified himself with the
Liberal party, and was conspicuous in the
controversy with the
Catholic clergy.
Career

liberal political party. In 1847 he was elected to the Belgian Chamber and appointed Minister of Public Works. and from 1848 to 1852 he held the
portfolio of Finance. He founded the national bank of Belgium, reduced postage, abolished the newspaper tax and was a strong advocate of

Vatican in 1880 (which were restored in 1884).
Political philosophy
Frère-Orban's liberalism consisted in the assertion of the authority of the state over the church and the defense of the system of secular public instruction against the clergy. He was at all times opposed to the "undue extension" of the
suffrage. Among other works he wrote
Le question monétaire.
