standard characteristics

Read a random definition: duel

A quick definition of standard characteristics:

Standard characteristics refer to the basic rules that apply to a motion in parliamentary law. These rules define when the motion is allowed, its importance compared to other motions, whether it can interrupt a speaker, if it needs a second, if it can be debated or changed, what vote is needed for it to be accepted, and if it can be reconsidered. Essentially, standard characteristics are the essential features that make up a motion and determine how it can be used in a parliamentary setting.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Standard characteristics refer to the basic rules that apply to and define a motion in parliamentary law. These characteristics include when the motion is in order, its rank, whether it needs a second, whether it is debatable, whether it is amendable, what vote its adoption takes, and whether it can be reconsidered.

Examples: For example, if a member of a parliamentary body wants to make a motion, they must follow the standard characteristics. They must wait until the appropriate time to make the motion, and the motion must be ranked according to its importance. The motion may require a second from another member, and it may be open to debate or amendment. The adoption of the motion will require a certain number of votes, and it may or may not be subject to reconsideration.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how standard characteristics are used in parliamentary law to regulate the process of making a motion. By following these rules, members can ensure that their motions are properly considered and that the decision-making process is fair and efficient.
