standard descriptive characteristics

Read a random definition: beneficium competentiae

A quick definition of standard descriptive characteristics:

Standard descriptive characteristics are the basic rules that apply to a motion in parliamentary law. These rules define when the motion is allowed, what it takes precedence over, and whether it can interrupt a speaker. They also determine whether the motion needs a second, if it is debatable or amendable, what vote is required for adoption, and whether it can be reconsidered. These are the standard characteristics that apply to all motions.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Standard descriptive 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 - what it takes precedence over and what yields to it
  • Whether making it may interrupt a speaker
  • Whether it needs a second
  • Whether it is debatable
  • Whether it is amendable
  • What vote its adoption takes
  • Whether it can be reconsidered

Example: If a member of a student council wants to propose a new rule, they would need to follow the standard descriptive characteristics. They would need to wait until the appropriate time to make the motion, ensure that it is ranked correctly in relation to other motions, and follow the rules regarding whether it needs a second, is debatable, and what vote is required for adoption.

This example illustrates how the standard descriptive characteristics provide a framework for making motions in a parliamentary setting. By following these rules, members can ensure that their motions are made in an orderly and fair manner.
