History of the Minister of State Role
The role of Minister of State was created in 1911. This happened when Monaco adopted its first constitution. For many years, the person holding this job had to be a French citizen. They were chosen from a list of senior government workers suggested by the French government.
However, things changed in 2002. After a new update to the constitution, the Minister of State can now be either French or Monégasque. The Prince of Monaco chooses and appoints this person. Even with this change, the French government still suggests who should be appointed.
