Chilean presidents are prohibited from running for election to a second consecutive term by an 1871 amendment to the constitution following Perez's peaceful ten-year administration.

Perez is succeeded as president by Federico Errazuriz Zafiartu (1871—76), Anibal Pinto Garmendia (1876-81), and Domingo Santa Maria Gonzalez (1881-86), the latter two serving during the War of the Pacific (1879-83).

All forms coalition governments in which the president juggles a complicated array of party components.
