Prince Talal suggested the creation of a national council in 1958.[3] The group drafted its own constitution. Its constitution placed more power in the hands of the cabinet, removed most of the authority of the King, and created a partially-elected advisory committee.[7] Most members of the Al Saud were strongly opposed to the movement, and both King Saud and Crown Prince Faisal repudiated its reforms initially. It was also attacked as "crypto-communist" by Saud.[3]
