The Hwabaek (Korean: 화백; Hanja: 和白), or council of nobles, served as the chief royal council in Silla; it is composed of the nobles of higher rank (Jingol) and headed by the Sangdaedeung.
The Hwabaek council decided the most important state affairs, such as succession to the throne and declarations of war.
It was also a unanimous, not majority, system in which a single opponent would not pass the plan.
[1] The venue for the Hwabaek Council was decided by taking turns to four sacred places in Silla.
The council made a decision to depose the Jinji of Silla, who believed that there was a flaw in his performance as a king, and put it into practice.
