About Braulio Carrillo Colina
Braulio Evaristo Carrillo Colina (20 March 1800 – 15 May 1845) was a Costa Rican lawyer and statesman who served as the 3rd and 5th Head of State of Costa Rica from 1835 to 1837 and as a dictator from 1838 until 1842. His administrations implemented extensive legal, fiscal, administrative, and economic reforms that contributed to the consolidation of the Costa Rican state. Following its secession from the Federal Republic of Central America, Carrillo declared Costa Rica a sovereign and independent state on 14 November 1838. Before becoming head of state, Carrillo served as a member of the Congress of Costa Rica, a deputy to the Congress of the Federal Republic of Central America, and as a judge and acting president of the Supreme Court of Costa Rica. During his second administration, he reorganized the country's public administration, promoted economic development, codified legislation, and strengthened the authority of the central government. His government also enacted measures against vagrancy and expanded the powers of the executive. Carrillo has been widely regarded as one of the principal architects of the country's early state institutions and is commonly referred to as the "Architect of the Costa Rican State." The Braulio Carrillo National Park in north-central Costa Rica is named after him.
