Rapture Central Council

The Rapture City Council, or Council for short, was the main legislative body in Rapture before Andrew Ryan seized control of the city. Despite Ryan's strong anti-government policies, the Council nonetheless had the power to control individual citizens' assets, appropriate itself of private companies and issue arrest warrants. Although there were several members among the Council, it is debatable whether they had any real power at all, as most of the directives issued came directly from Andrew Ryan. This facilitated his rise to tyranny, which he was able to accomplish with little or no apparent difficulty.
