The PrivyCouncil of the Electorate of Brunswick L neburg , popularly known as Hanover, was the administrative branch of the electoral and later royal government of Hanover. Its members were known as ministers and often controlled indirectly the other branches of the government, except the military which was always under the direct control of the elector. At least one minister was always with the elector in London between the years 1714 and 1837 as the head of the German Chancery . Background The PrivyCouncil gained prominence when George I of Great Britain Georg Ludwig became King of Great Britain and Ireland in 1714, leaving management of Hanover to the states via his reglement . At times, the PrivyCouncil was very powerful, especially after the accession of George III of Great Britain Georg III , who never personally traveled to Hanover nor left a regent in his stead. After 1813 , Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge was installed as Governor of Hanover later to be promoted to Governor General in 1816, and then Viceroy in 1831 , slowly ending the relative autonomy of the PrivyCouncil. Upon the accession of Ernest Augustus of Hanover Ernst August in 1837 , thereby ending the dynastic union between Great Britain and Hanover, the PrivyCouncil returned to its pre 1714 function as an advisory council to the king. Premiere Ministers of the PrivyCouncil While technically all the ministers of the council were equal in rank, a head was appointed for the purpose of calling, opening, and closing meetings. This individual, although technically equal to the other members, often became the leader of the PrivyCouncil and would direct decisions. The title became synonymous with that of Prime Minister during the terms of some of its holders, although others wielded less power. Some of the premiere ministers include Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff Andreas Gottlieb, Count von Bernstorff 1709 1714 Hans Caspar von Bothmer Hans Caspar, Baron von Bothmer 1727 1732 Heinrich, Baron Grote 1735 ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 The Supreme PrivyCouncil of Imperial Russia was founded on 8 February 1726 as a body of advisors to Catherine I of Russia Catherine I . Originally, the council included six members Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov Alexander Menshikov , Fyodor Apraksin , Gavrila Golovkin , Andrey Osterman , Peter Tolstoy , and Dmitry Galitzine . Several months later, Catherine s son in law, Karl Friedrich, Duke of Holstein Gottorp , joined the Council. During Catherine s reign, the Council was dominated by her former lover Prince Menshikov. In her testament, the Empress authorized the Council to wield power equal to that of her successor Peter II of Russia Peter , except in the matters of succession. After Peter II assumed the throne, Menshikov persuaded him to marry his daughter. By the time of Menshikov s downfall in September 1727 the Council s constitution had changed drastically Apraksin died, Tolstoy was exiled, and Duke of Holstein left Russia. Thereupon it was expanded to eight members, of which six represented old boyar families opposing the Westernization reforms of Peter the Great the Dolgorukov s and the Galitzine s. The other two seats were retained by Osterman and Golovkin. As the conservative influences prevailed among its members, the Council although nominally a consultative body monopolized supreme power and had the imperial capital moved back to Moscow . The Collegium ministry collegia i.e., ministries and the Senate , instituted by Peter the Great as supreme governing bodies, were not called governing any more and were held accountable before the Council rather than the Emperor.

Orphan date February 2009 Refimprove date May 2007 PrivyCouncil Order 1003 , known as PC 1003 , was a wartime measure during World War II in Canada by the Liberal Party of Canada Liberal government of Prime Minister of Canada Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King in 1944. It was the first in Canada to legally recognize the existence of unions and to force employers to negotiate with organized workers. It was drafted loosely on the American National Labor Relations Act Wagner Act and is considered the framework for union rights in Canada. At the end of World War II, PC 1003, being a wartime measure, was abolished by the provinces, who said that the federal state does not have rights to pass that legislation.
