Introduced by the Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland in 1815, it was composed of 5 ministers, special nominees of the King and the Namestnik of the Kingdom of Poland.[1] The Council executed King's will, ruled in the cases outside the ministers competence and prepared projects for the Council of State.

It was liquidated on 15 June 1867.
