Council

Was the subject of two councils while I was growing up. Who ever called the council was charged with giving the reason for calling it and carrying out what was decided after. The first round everyone stated what they thought should be done and asked for extra information at times on what someone else had said. Usually the second round was less diverse as various people incorporated something previous speakers had said. Third round normally brought consensus though sometime I was told it went into a fourth round. If after four rounds no consensus was reached the matter was dropped and could not be mentioned again for a year. That was the ways of the six nations who gave the USA their form of government with major faults in the adaption.
