Polysynody
Polysynody was the system of government in use in France between 1715 and 1718 and in which each minister was replaced by a council. At the end of the reign of King Louis XIV of France, there was a reaction of the aristocracy against the concentration of powers in the person of the king, and against the takeover of the administration by commoners from the bourgeoisie. An aristocratic ideal of government emerged around the personalities of Fénelon, the duc de Beauvilliers, the duc de Chevreuse, and the duc de Saint-Simon. They advocated the creation of councils made up of aristocrats which would assist the king in the exercise of government power. At the death of Louis XIV, the regent Philippe d'Orléans, in search of political support, satisfied the aristocracy by replacing the ministers and secretaries of state with eight councils which were dominated by the ancient aristocracy. The Council of the Regency, chaired by the regent, had no real power. The other councils shared government power. There was: the Council of Matters within the Kingdom, the Council of Conscience for religious matters, the Council of War, the Council of the Navy, the Council of Finance, the Council of Foreign Affairs, and the Council of Commerce for internal and foreign trade as well as for royal factories. Each council had ten members and elected one president.
