Powers
Legislating
It is the right and authority of the Emperor's Law Council under the Basic Rights Of Makko Oko to draft and approve laws and amendments for recommendation to the Emperor Of Makko Oko for enactment. Unlike traditional parliaments, the Emperor's Law Council has no official authority to enact laws, and merely approves laws to then recommend they be enacted by the Emperor, who does hold that power.
Control of the executive
Relationship with advisory bodies
Supervisory powers
Constitutional Amendments
The Emperor's Law Council has the full authority to pass amendments to the Constitution, otherwise known as the Basic Rights, to then be forwarded up to the Emperor for approval. This power was first seen on the 5th revision to the Basic Rights Of Makko Oko, which Emperor Conall Solis approved.
Meetings
The Emperor's Law Council has meetings called "sessions" that are of a yearly basis and they may be stopped at any point by the Emperor, and only the Emperor.
