A quick definition of praesumitur pro negante:

Term: PRAESUMITUR PRO NEGANTE

Definition: When there is a tie in votes on a decision, the House of Lords assumes that the decision is against the proposal. This means that if there is no clear majority, the proposal is considered to be rejected.

A more thorough explanation:

praesumitur pro negante (pronounced pri-zyoo-muh-tur proh ni-gan-tee) is a Latin phrase that means "it is presumed for the negative." This is a rule used by the House of Lords when the votes are equal on a motion.

For example, if there are 100 members in the House of Lords and 50 vote for a motion while 50 vote against it, the motion will be defeated because of the rule of praesumitur pro negante. This means that the House of Lords will presume that the negative side (those who voted against the motion) should win because they are the ones who are opposing the motion.

Another example is in a court case where the burden of proof is on the prosecution. If the prosecution cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty, then the defendant is presumed innocent. This is an application of the rule of praesumitur pro negante.

These examples illustrate how the rule of praesumitur pro negante works. It means that when there is doubt or uncertainty, the side that is opposing something is given the benefit of the doubt. This is because it is often easier to prove that something is false or wrong than it is to prove that it is true or correct.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they blaimed it on their IT team for not updating it as out of stock when I paid but like buying something in stock in September then being told I won't get it until mid January is pretty wild. I do not hunt anymore but their mistake would of caused me to miss the entire season. If it wasn't so hard to get left handed ARs I would of gone elsewhere
oh that's kind of worth more than $140
that's at least $300
