The Federal Council serves several different purposes in the Kiravian constitutional framework: Representing the interests of state governments, ensuring regional and thematic balance in national decision-making, adding an additional round of approval for important decisions to ensure that they have reasonably broad support, and enforcing accountability on the other constitutional bodies. The Council has no power in its own right to legislate for, tax, compel, or adjudicate private persons or entities, nor the federal subjects - its powers only apply to other federal government entities and officials. | |||
