Trias Monge, Jose

Trias Monge, Jose
▪ 2004

      Puerto Rican government official and judge (b. May 5, 1920, San Juan, P.R.—d. June 24, 2003, Boston, Mass.), was heavily involved with drafting the Puerto Rican constitution, which took effect in 1952. Under its terms, Puerto Rico bound itself to the U.S. and acquired approximately the same level of self-government as the 50 U.S. states. Trías Monge, who served as attorney general (1953–57) and chief justice (1974–85) of Puerto Rico, later decried the status of the island in the book Puerto Rico: The Trials of the Oldest Colony in the World (1997).
