The People's Redemption Council (PRC) was a governmental body that ruled Liberia during the early 1980s.[1] It was established after the 1980 Liberian coup d'état wherein Samuel Doe seized power on 12 April 1980.[1] The Council, with Doe as its chairman, promised a complete overhaul of Liberia's society, economy, and political system and the replacement of the corruption of previous regimes with respect for the rights of the Liberian people.[2] The PRC had 17 founding members and was later expanded to 28.[1] The PRC initially functioned as the executive and legislative body in Doe's government.[1] However, over time Doe consolidated power as a central executive.[1][2] In 1984, the PRC was dissolved and replaced by the Interim National Assembly.[2]
