One of the most important meetings of this organization took place to discuss the Odoyevsky Commission's recommendation of a new Law Code, which was instituted as its namesake "ulozheniye;" that meeting took place in 1648 and was this organization's last significant gathering. Prior to that meeting, this organization had suggested continuing the Livonian War, condemned the purges of the Oprichinna and met briefly during the Time of Troubles, with its most important meeting occurring in 1613 to elect Mikhail Romanov.
