History
The Privy Council, authorized by the Act to Organize the Executive Ministries on October 29, 1845, was composed of the executive ministers and governors of islands serving as honorary members. With the King in Council, it received foreign policy documents and approved the declaration of embargoes, orders of nobility, cutting of timber and use of coral reefs, prices for the sale and leases of government land, audit of internal taxes, the budget, assessment and minting of coins, regulations, compensation of teachers and diplomatic agents, granting of letters patent of denization, and appointments of the local officials. Ministerial proposals were presented in the Privy Council. The duties of the Privy Council lapsed when the monarchical government was abrogated by the Proclamation of the Committee of Safety on January 17, 1893.
