The Sovereign Council (French: Conseil souverain) was a governing body in New France. It served as both Supreme Court for the colony of New France, as well as a policy-making body, though this latter role diminished over time. The council, though officially established in 1663 by King Louis XIV of France, was not created from whole cloth, but rather evolved from earlier governing bodies. As early as 1647, a council of three was created by the King. In 1648, this council was enlarged to include five members. The Sovereign Council came to be known as the Superior Council (Conseil Supérieur) as early as June 16, 1703, when Louis XIV issued a royal edict referring to it as the Superior Council instead of its former name, and increasing the number of sitting Councilors from seven to twelve.

  • Le Conseil souverain de la Nouvelle-France (ou Conseil supérieur de Québec) est une institution établie par Louis XIV en avril 1663. La création de ce conseil signe la fin du contrat de la Compagnie de la Nouvelle-France, mise sur pied par le cardinal Armand de Richelieu, qui avait failli, selon l'opinion du roi, à sa tâche d'établir une colonie de peuplement en Amérique. Les trois principaux personnages à y siéger sont le gouverneur, l'évêque et l'intendant. Ce dernier préside les délibérations. Tous les membres répondent au secrétaire d'État à la Marine de la France. Ceux-ci sont choisis parmi la noblesse française. Le Conseil souverain comprenait en plus neuf fonctionnaires, entièrement responsables de tous les sujets législatifs, exécutifs et judiciaires. (fr)
