[edit]The Serbian Governing Council
[edit]Created in August 27, 1804, the Serbian Governing Council (Правителствующи совѣт сербскій, written in the modern Serbian alphabet as Правитељствујушчи совјет сербски, Praviteljstvujušči sovjet serbski) was one of the central ruling bodies in Serbia during the Uprising. Lawyer Teodor Filipović and insurgent commander Mateja Nenadović were its chief architects. The Council's headquarters were first in Voljavča Monastery, then in Bogovađa, before moving to Smederevo in November 1805 and Belgrade in the summer of 1807.[5]
Initially, the Council fulfilled the role of the government, the supreme judicial and legislative authority in liberated Serbian territories. The role and position of the council was formally defined on an Assembly in Smederevo on December 7, 1805.[5] The Council was to be comprised of a President and 12 representatives from the 12 regions held by Serbian rebels at the time. Mateja Nenadović was confirmed as the first President of the Council, while Karađorđe was symbolically named its "High President" to signify his authority. The Assembly also formally defined a new judicial structure for Serbia - courts were to be organized in four degrees: village courts, municipal courts, regional courts and the Great Court of the People, which was actually the Serbian Governing Council itself.
