supreme council of Salvington

33:8.3The su­preme coun­cil of the lo­cal uni­verse is made up of three mem­bers from each sys­tem and seven rep­re­sen­ta­tives from each con­stel­la­tion. Sys­tems in iso­la­tion do not have rep­re­sen­ta­tion in this as­sem­bly, but they are per­mit­ted to send ob­servers who at­tend and study all its de­lib­er­a­tions.

33:8.4The one hun­dred coun­cils of su­preme sanc­tion are also sit­u­ated on Sal­ving­ton. The pres­i­dents of these coun­cils con­sti­tute the im­me­di­ate work­ing cab­i­net of Ga­briel.

33:8.5All find­ings of the high uni­verse ad­vi­sory coun­cils are re­ferred ei­ther to the Sal­ving­ton ju­di­cial bod­ies or to the leg­isla­tive as­sem­blies of the con­stel­la­tions. These high coun­cils are with­out au­thor­ity or power to en­force their rec­om­men­da­tions. If their ad­vice is founded on the fun­da­men­tal laws of the uni­verse, then will the Neb­a­don courts is­sue rul­ings of ex­e­cu­tion; but if their rec­om­men­da­tions have to do with lo­cal or emer­gency con­di­tions, they must pass down to the leg­isla­tive as­sem­blies of the con­stel­la­tion for de­lib­er­a­tive en­act­ment and then to the sys­tem au­thor­i­ties for ex­e­cu­tion. These high coun­cils are, in re­al­ity, the uni­verse super­leg­is­la­tures, but they func­tion with­out the au­thor­ity of en­act­ment and with­out the power of ex­e­cu­tion.

188:3.12There are rec­ords ex­tant which show that dur­ing this pe­riod the su­preme coun­cil of Sal­ving­ton, num­ber­ing one hun­dred, held an ex­ec­u­tive meet­ing on Uran­tia un­der the pres­i­dency of Ga­briel. There are also rec­ords show­ing that the An­cients of Days of Uversa com­mu­ni­cated with Mi­chael re­gard­ing the sta­tus of the uni­verse of Neb­a­don dur­ing this time.

32:5.9[Pre­sented by a Mighty Mes­sen­ger tem­porar­ily at­tached to the Su­preme Coun­cil of Neb­a­don and as­signed to this mis­sion by Ga­briel of Sal­ving­ton.]

45:3.22This coun­cil pe­ri­od­i­cally chooses three mem­bers to rep­re­sent the lo­cal sys­tem on the su­preme coun­cil at uni­verse head­quar­ters, but this rep­re­sen­ta­tion is sus­pended by re­bel­lion. Sa­ta­nia now has an ob­server at the head­quar­ters of the lo­cal uni­verse, but since the be­stowal of Mi­chael the sys­tem has re­sumed the elec­tion of ten mem­bers to the Eden­tia leg­is­la­ture.
