[ her monarchy will be overthrown because she wants it to be overthrown-- but she wants what is best for her people most of all and her people have begged her not to make changes, to keep leading them until they are more capable of thinking for themselves, until they are more themselves after her father's reign. ]

An argumentative council can be difficult, especially when it comes to what they perceive as the peoples' wants, rather than actually listening to them.
I think it is a good thing if decisions are made by more than one person. It prevents one person having too much power, doesn't it? But the quality of the decisions matters as well. Just because more people are making the decisions does not yet mean that they are good.
Even in a group setting, you will find people who assume they still know best, people who often disregard what is best for the regular citizens. Something to look out for, should you get these councils for your kingdom.

If the council does not keep that in mind, I would not support that council either.

Yes. That seems like a good stance to take. I'm inclined to agree.

There is an Alliance back home, and the high council spend more time squabbling with one another than getting anything done.
