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, and June 1953 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]
Deputy prime minister Ferdinand Nigg died in office on 13 July 1957 and was succeeded by Josef Büchel.[5][6]
Following the 1957 Liechtenstein general election, the cabinet was dissolved on 31 December 1957 and succeeded by the Third Alexander Frick cabinet.[7]
