1811 (The Structure of the Ministry): Under the new constitutional laws, King Christophe was empowered to appoint four specific ministers to manage the essential functions of the state. These included the Minister of War and Marine, the Minister of Finances and of the Interior, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Justice. These ministers were designated as permanent members of the Council, where they held a deliberative voice in the formation of national policy. This ministerial structure was intended to professionalize the administration and ensure that the King had specialized advisors for each branch of government. By organizing the state in this manner, King Henry Christophe sought to mirror the administrative efficiency of established global powers.
