Jules Armand Stanislas Dufaure (French:[ʒylaʁmɑ̃dyfoʁ]; 4 December 1798 – 28 June 1881) was a Frenchstatesman who served 3 non-consecutive terms asPrime Minister of France.
Dufaure was born atSaujon, Charente-Maritime, and began his career as an advocate atBordeaux, where he won a great reputation by his oratorical gifts. He abandoned law for politics and, in 1834, was elected deputy. In 1839, he became minister of public works in the ministry ofJean-de-Dieu Soult, and succeeded in freeing railway construction in France from the obstacles which until then had hampered it.[1]
Losing office in 1840, Dufaure became one of the leaders of the Opposition, and on the outbreak of the revolution of 1848, he accepted the Republic and joined the party of moderate republicans. On 13 October, he became minister of the interior underLouis-Eugène Cavaignac, but retired on the latter's defeat in the presidential election. During theSecond French Empire, Dufaure abstained from public life, and practised at the Paris bar with such success that he was electedbâtonnier in 1862.[1]
In 1863, he succeeded toÉtienne-Denis Pasquier's seat in theAcadémie Française. In 1871, he became a member of the Assembly, and proposedAdolphe Thiers as President of the Republic. Dufaure became the minister of justice as chief of the party of the "left-centre," and his tenure of office was distinguished by the passage of the jury-law. In 1873, he fell with Thiers, but in 1875 resumed his former post underLouis Buffet, whom he succeeded on 9 March 1876, the first to become president of the council (his predecessors wore the title of vice-presidents of the council). In the same year, he was elected alife senator. On 12 December, he withdrew from the ministry owing to the attacks of the republicans of the left in the chamber and of the conservatives in the senate.[1]
After the conservatives' defeat on 16 May, he returned to power on 24 December 1877. Early in 1879, Dufaure took part in compelling the resignation ofPatrice MacMahon, duc de Magenta, but immediately afterwards (1 February), worn out by opposition, he retired.[1] AsPrime Minister, he served as the Acting President of the Republic on 30 January 1879.
