Discussion
In ZFC, the axiom of global choice cannot be stated as such because it involves existential quantification on classes: so it is not a statement of the language of ZFC (nor even an infinite number of statements like axiom schemes requiring universal quantification on classes). It can, however, be stated for a given explicit class, e.g., one can state the fact that such-or-such an explicit class-function is a choice function for V \ { ∅ } or that such-or-such a class-relation is a well-ordering of V: in this form (i.e., for some explicit class function that is tedious but possible to write down), the axiom of global choice follows from the axiom of constructibility.
In Gödel-Bernays, global choice does not add any consequence about sets beyond what could have been deduced from the ordinary axiom of choice.
Global choice is a consequence of the axiom of limitation of size.

Famous quotes containing the word discussion:
“If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of women, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test: though a different opinion prevails in this country.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“There are answers which, in turning away wrath, only send it to the other end of the room, and to have a discussion coolly waived when you feel that justice is all on your own side is even more exasperating in marriage than in philosophy.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
