	Privy councillor - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Privy councillor
		In Britain the Privy Council, like the Exchequer, the Treasury, and Chancery, had its origins in the curia regis (king's court or council) as part of the growth of executive and administrative organs of government between the 12th and 15th centuries in England.
		The power of the council was curbed by the Long Parliament and its role as the central executive organ declined with the emergence in the 18th century of the cabinet, which is in effect a committee of the Privy Council.
		Appointment is made by letters patent, and is normally for life (appointments are customarily renewed by a new sovereign on succeeding to the throne), although a privy councillor may be dismissed if convicted of a serious crime, or removed at his or her own request, but both are extremely rare.
