The king's Privy Council was a group of advisors appointed by the monarch in England during the colonial period. In the House of Burgesses, which was the legislative assembly in colonial Virginia, the Privy Council played a significant role in overseeing the colony's governance. It had the authority to review and approve laws passed by the House of Burgesses, ensuring they aligned with the interests of the English Crown. The Privy Council also had the power to veto any legislation deemed contrary to royal policies.
