Robert's rules of order revised : for deliberative assemblies by Henry M. Robert

"Robert's Rules of Order Revised: For Deliberative Assemblies" by Henry M. Robert is a comprehensive guidebook on parliamentary procedure, written in the early 20th century. This reference manual lays out the principles and rules for organizing and conducting meetings in societies, conventions, and other deliberative bodies, drawing heavily from the rules and practices of the U.S. Congress as adapted for general organizations. The main focus is to provide a systematic, accessible framework for effective, orderly group decision-making and discussion. The opening of "Robert's Rules of Order Revised" introduces both the structure and the purpose of the manual. It details the organization of the content into systematically arranged sections and tables, making it easy for readers to quickly reference the rules for handling various kinds of motions and meeting procedures. Early sections thoroughly define key parliamentary terms, outline the classification and precedence of motions, and set forth the rationale for adopting a uniform set of rules. The beginning also emphasizes the importance of respecting clear rules to ensure fairness and efficiency in group decision-making, establishing the foundation for the more detailed sections that follow on conducting, debating, and voting on business.
