Administrative History
The Council of Revision was set up by Article III of the Constitution of 1777 and consisted of the Governor, Chancellor, and Justices of the Supreme Court of Judicature. It had the power to review all bills passed by the Legislature, and to veto those of which it did not approve. The Council was abolished by the Constitution adopted in 1822.
