The Privy Council of Shingoryeo is a formal advisory body to the monarch of Quebec and Shingoryeo. The council membership are led by Monarch of Quebec and Shingoryeo, who chairs the council, the Prime Minister, who often chairs meetings instead of the Queen and is considered a major figure of the Council, and consists of Crown-appointed members of political, economic, diplomatic and military experience and expertise. The Privy Council was founded in 1731 as a succession of the Shingoryeoite State and Inteachan privy councils, and is considered a historical institution symbolising the nation's transition from an early modern state to an empire, and then a contemporary state.
The primary function of the Privy Council of Shingoryeo is to consult and be consulted by the cabinet, which is also led by the Prime Minister in his role as Lord President of the Council, on a proposed legislation before the said cabinet submits a law. Traditionally the Privy Council's Judiciary Committee, which consists of two of the House of Lords members who consists the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords, advises on legality of the proposal, though the advice taken by the committee presents as a matter of judicial advice, not a final word. In addition to its primary capacity as an advisory board for the cabinet, the Privy Council also advises the sovereign to grant royal assent, which usually involves the signature of the Monach, the Lord-President, the Clerk and two other members of the Council, to Acts of Parliament, and Privy Council Order and Royal Charters that could be used to regulate public institutions, and updated or renewed statuses to local bodies and their authorities.
Additionally, the Privy Council is the body that advises the execution of Royal Prerogative. The Royal Prerogative, in which powers can be exercised by the monarch without the approval of the Parliament, is issued with signature from the sovereign, the Prime Minister and three members of the Council. Due to the powers it authorises the Prerogative is rarely used and is considered to be ceremonial in nature for most part, though exceptions have existed with Kingston Incident of 1997, when several thousand members of provincial Police, Provincial Cabinet and far-right convoy of counter-protestors led by the Premier of Mahan was arrested and executed on the aftermath of their suppression of the General Strike, being the last one. Matters involving the Royal Family are not eligible to be exercised by the prerogative powers as well.
Council protocols are secret in lifetime, with the files usually made available after seventy-five years. Those summoned to the Privy Council of Shingoryeo are generally appointed for life, with exceptions to be made where the member resigns or is removed under various grounds. Unlike most other state councils of similar stature and function, the PCS is mandated to avoid excessive politicisation, which means that the number of current and former cabinet ministers are set to be limited. Those holding the Membership of the Council are accorded the use of post-nominal letters and a honorific style 'Right Honourable', though some Councilors hold higher titles.
