In the United Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan, the Council of State is a constitutionally established advisory body to the Federal Government which consists of members of the Egyptosudanese Royal Family and Crown-appointed members with political, commercial, diplomatic, or military experience. The Council of State must be consulted by the Cabinet on proposed legislation before a law is submitted to the Parliament of Egypt and Sudan. The Council of State also serves as a channel of appeal for citizens against executive branch decisions.
