 the grand council to give an ac- 

 count of their conduct, to address 

 suitable exhortations to them,, to 

 suspend them, and even to dis- 

 miss them, according to the na- 

 ture of the offence. Finally, this 

 tribunal examines and determines 

 whether the members of the grand 

 council, newly elected, have ful- 

 filled the conditions of eligibility 

 required of them by law.
