      Robert's Rules Of Order - BarCharts, Inc.

      Introduction

      Published in 1876, Robert’s Rules of Order was originally written by U.S. Army Brigadier General Henry Robert

      Robert wanted to write a manual for parliamentary procedure after presiding over a church meeting for which he felt he was woefully unprepared

      In his work, Robert discovered that people from different regions of the country have different ideas of parliamentary procedure, resulting in organizations focused more on the procedure and less on the substance of their work

      As a result of his Rules of Order, people could belong to many organizations without needing to learn new procedural rules at every new organization

      Robert’s Rules of Order are based on those used in the U.S. House of Representatives (Jefferson’s Manual), but adapted for smaller organizations and societies

      NOTE: Parliamentary law is not actual law in the sense that it is not codified or used in a court proceeding; instead, parliamentary law and Robert’s Rules of Order should be seen less as binding on an assembly and more as a set of strong guidelines an assembly can mold to its own needs Robert intended his Rules of Order to be adopted by organizations, assemblies, and clubs to use as their parliamentary, or procedural, authority; following the procedures for adopting bylaws then, these Rules of Order become binding upon the organization to establish its procedural rules of order

      Preliminaries

      Kinds of Assemblies

      Deliberative assemblies convene meetings; they are groups of people who come together with a common agenda: the meeting; the different types of deliberative assemblies are:

      Mass meetings: Open and unorganized meetings with a purpose defined by the meetings’ sponsors (e.g., political or social rallies)

      Conventions: Meetings of delegates chosen to enact or debate decisions affecting a large group of people (e.g., the meetings by political parties to choose their nomination for the U.S. presidency)

      Legislative bodies: Lawmaking bodies chosen by a group of people for a fixed period of time (e.g., Congress)

      Boards: Administrative or managerial bodies with an assigned, specific function (e.g., a Board of Trustees of a university)

      Committees: Bodies that are usually very small and subordinate to an assembly or board (e.g., a congressional committee)

      Mass Meetings

      A special kind of meeting that is publicized and open to the public is a mass meeting; it usually takes on a town hall meeting format; to
