Second, no...there was no council "set by Constantine" to do this. The most that can be said of his role is that he put a kibosh on canon development by ordering that 50 copies of the New Testament be made. Once that happened, it would be hard to add or subtract from what was copied. But that doesn't mean he chose the books or even had any idea what they were. He was a military grunt, not a theologian. He was more likely to use a copy of Luke to wipe mustard off his sleeve than he was to recognize it as Luke's Gospel.
Third, don't EVER rely on Google for information like this. Use real scholars. Like this one.
