It is mentioned in the article 79 of U.S.S.R. constitution "The highest executive and administrative organ of state power of a Union Republic is the Council of People's Commissars of the Union Republic". The Council was formed by Supreme Soviet of the Union Republic, which was the only legislative body in a Union Republic and the highest organ of State Power. The Council consisted of the following positions: </p> <ul><li>Chairman</li> <li>Vice-Chairman</li> <li>Chairman of the State Planning Commission</li> <li>People's Commissars-of:</li> <li>Food industry, light industry, agriculture, finance, internal trade, justice, education, municipal economy, public health etc.</li> <li>The Representative of the Committee of Agricultural Stocks</li> <li>Chief of the Board of Arts</li> <li>The Representative of the All-Union People's Commissariats</li></ul> <p>The Council issued orders and decisions and supervised their execution. The Council was responsible and accountable to Supreme Soviet of the Union Republic but between the sessions of the Union Republics Supreme Soviet, the Council was responsible and accountable to the Presidium of the same Supreme Soviet. The Council of People's Commissars controlled those branches of state administration that came within the jurisdiction of Union Republic. It issued within the limits of the jurisdiction of their respective People's Commissariats, orders and instructions. The Council of People's Commissariats of a Union Republic were either Union-Republic or Republican Commissariats. Union-Republican controlled those branches of the state administration that were entrusted to them and were subordinate both to the Council of People's Commissars of the Union Republic and to the appropriate Union-Republic People's Commissars of the U.S.S.R..
