He was a physician and the first democratically elected Marxist socialist to become president of a state.
In August 1973, a constitutional crisis occurred, and the Supreme Court publicly complained about the Allende Government's inability to enforce the law of the land. Later on the Chamber of deputies accused Allende`s Government of unconstitutional acts by his refusal to promulgate constitutional amendments already approved by the chamber of deputies. This prevented his government from continuing his massive statization plan and called upon the military to enforce constitutional order.
