A quick definition of council:

A council is a group of people who come together to discuss and make decisions about important issues. It can be a group of elected officials who represent the citizens of a city or organization, or it can be an administrative or executive body. In some cities, there are different branches of the council, such as the general council or the select council. The council is responsible for making important decisions that affect the community or organization they represent.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A council is a group of people who come together to discuss and make decisions about important issues. There are different types of councils, including:

  • Deliberative assembly: This is a council that meets to discuss and make decisions about important issues. For example, the United Nations Security Council is a deliberative assembly that discusses and makes decisions about international security.
  • Common council: In some cities, the lower branch of a city council. This is a group of people who are elected to represent the citizens of a city and make decisions about local issues. For example, the common council in New York City is responsible for passing laws and making decisions about the city's budget.
  • General council: This is a body of elected persons who represent all the citizens of a territory or members of an organization. For example, a student council in a high school is a general council that represents the interests of all the students in the school.
  • Select council: In some states, the upper branch of a city council. This is a group of people who are elected to represent the citizens of a city and make decisions about local issues. For example, the select council in Philadelphia is responsible for passing laws and making decisions about the city's budget.
  • Administrative or executive body: This is a council that is responsible for managing and making decisions about a specific area or organization. For example, a parish council is an administrative or executive body that is responsible for managing and making decisions about a specific parish.

These examples illustrate how councils can be formed to make decisions about different issues, from international security to local budgets to student interests. Councils are important because they allow people to come together and make decisions that affect their communities and organizations.
