Federation Council.
The Federation Council was the legislature of the United Federation of Planets. Seats on the Council were filled by representatives from the various Federation members. In 2286, the Council convened in San Francisco. (TOS: "Amok Time"; DS9: "Rapture"; VOY: "In the Flesh"; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
In 2371, as part of a ruse to get Ensign Harry Kim to buy worthless Lobi crystals, Quark told Kim that he should tell his commanding officer, Kathryn Janeway, that the Federation Council would be getting an official query from him regarding Kim being warned about Ferengi. (VOY: "Caretaker")
In late 2372, Chancellor Gowron sent a message to the Council, telling them that the Klingon Empire would not give up Cardassian planets which the Empire had captured. He also told them to withdraw Federation forces from the Archanis sector and Archanis IV. (DS9: "Broken Link")
In 2374, the Council sent a message to Grand Nagus Zek that Ensign Nog was to deliver. Jake Sisko believed it might have been a proposal for an alliance between the Ferengi Alliance and the Federation. (DS9: "Valiant")
In a Dominion simulation, Benjamin Sisko was told the Founders were meeting with the Council and that the Council thought trusting the Founders was "worth the risk". (DS9: "The Search, Part II")
In a Section 31 holoprogram, the Council gave Luther Sloan authority to investigate a security breach on Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Inquisition")
In 2376, Zar informed Varn that "Captain Janeway" – i.e. Dala – had influence with the Federation Council and could speed up Varn's application for Federation membership. (VOY: "Live Fast and Prosper").
Council members.
Membership in the Council was considered an incredible honor. T'Pau of Vulcan was the only person to have refused a seat on the Council as of 2267. (TOS: "Amok Time")
The election of Federation councilors was one of the tasks that Bajor would have had to complete if it joined the Federation. (DS9: "Rapture")
Jonathan Archer served on the Federation Council, representing United Earth, from 2175 to 2183, before being elected president in 2184. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
In the 2360s, Jaresh-Inyo represented his world on the Federation Council before he was elected president. (DS9: "Homefront").
Council decisions.
In 2286, the Federation Council deliberated what the Federation's position would be regarding the issue of the premature formation of the Genesis Planet. To that end, Starfleet Commander Admiral Morrow ordered the crew of the USS Enterprise to withhold their knowledge of the planet to anyone until they could make official policy. The Council also ordered that no one aside from the science team aboard the USS Grissom would be allowed to approach the planet. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) The Federation Council met three months later to consider the actions of Admiral James T. Kirk and his crew regarding his violation of these orders, their sabotage of the USS Excelsior and their theft and destruction of the Enterprise. However, in gratitude for the crew's work in saving Earth from the Whale Probe, the Council dismissed all but one charge and demoted Kirk to the rank of captain and, as befitting an officer of that rank, "sentencing" him to command a starship. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
In 2366, the Council was called into emergency session when a Romulan defector provided information on a possible Romulan invasion fleet arming near Nelvana III. They determined that the USS Enterprise-D, the Starfleet ship on site, should assume anything Admiral Alidar Jarok said was a lie. (TNG: "The Defector")
In 2369, the Federation Council promised Ambassador Ves Alkar safe passage back to his homeworld after bringing peace to Rekag-Seronia. Alkar expected Picard to fulfil that agreement, regardless of his, Alkar's, crimes. (TNG: "Man of the People")
In 2370, the Council imposed a warp 5 speed limit on all Federation vessels and vessels within UFP territory, except in dire circumstances. This law was revoked when improvements in warp drive were achieved. (TNG: "Force of Nature", "The Pegasus"; VOY: "Caretaker"; Star Trek: First Contact)
Shortly thereafter, the Council began debate on the ratification of the Federation-Cardassian Treaty. It rejected a request by a Native American representative to re-negotiate the status of Dorvan V and ordered the evacuation of all Federation citizens from the planet. (TNG: "Journey's End")
In 2372, the Federation Council condemned the Klingon invasion of the Cardassian Union and agreed to provide twelve industrial replicators to help rebuild the devastated Cardassian industrial base. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior", "For the Cause")
In 2375, Starfleet Admiral Dougherty claimed that the Federation Council had been responsible for the decision to forcibly relocate the Ba'ku from their world in cooperation with the Son'a. After the USS Enterprise-E contacted the Federation, the Council announced they would perform a top-level review of the situation and halt the relocation of the Ba'ku. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
Later that year, the Federation Council was responsible for the decision not to give the Founders the cure to the morphogenic virus, as they felt it would give the Dominion the upper hand in the war. (DS9: "The Dogs of War")
In an alternate 2390, the Federation Council offered to drop the charges of conspiracy against Chakotay and Harry Kim if they returned a Borg temporal transmitter and stood down when those two tried to send a message back to 2375. (VOY: "Timeless").
