Rules of an Assembly or Organization - Intro & Corporate Charter
2:1
An organized society requires rules to establish its basic structure and manner of operation. --
Formally adopted rules are necessary to eliminate headache over disputes on what is parliamentary law.
2:2
Experience has shown that some rules of a society should be made harder to change or suspend than
others. Rules may be divided into two classes. 1) Rules needed by every society. 2) Rules required as
conditions warrant them.
An assembly is free to adopt any rules it desires. Even those that violate the established parliamentary
law, so long as its adoption conforms to the general parliamentary law or the bodies customs.
The only limit on rules a society can adopt comes from a high authority. Such as a national or state
body this society belongs to. Or if the sovereign power to which it is subject to has some limitation on
its rules.
2:3
Various kinds of rules a body might adopt.
1. Corporate Charter
2. Constitution and/or bylaws (cf. RONR (12th ed.) 56 & 57.)
3. Rules of Order (Include standard work on parliamentary law as adopted)
4. Standing Rules
2:4
In matters in which there is not adopted rule the body is guided by established custom.
Corporate Charter
2:5
Goes by different name in different states/federal government. (Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of
Incorporation, Articles of Association, Articles of Organization, etc) This document is a legal
instrument that requires the following.
1. Name
2. Object of the Society
3. Any other information needed by the States Statues.Incorporation is sometimes necessary or may be advisable.
1. Hold Property
2. inherit a legacy
3. make legally binding contracts
4. hire employee’s
5. Sue or be sued in societies own name.
6. Protect officers and members from personal liability.
If no law exist requiring a society be incorporated then it is not required.
I am not a lawyer! I do not given legal advice!
2:6
A corporate Charter should be drafted by an attorney. And it must be processed in accordance with
state/federal law. -- Amendments are also subject to any limitations that the incorporating law requires.
2:7
In an incorporated organization its corporate charter supersedes all other rules. -- No rules adopted by
the organization can be in conflict. Nothing in the charter can be suspended by the organization unless
the relevant law/charter allows for it. For this reason it is best to put only what is absolutely necessary
to be incorporated under the relevant law. -- As much as possible should be left to the bylaws.

Principles of Parliamentary Law
In this short video we touch on the fundamental principles of parliamentary law.

The Rules of Parliamentary Procedure as laid out in RONR 12th ed are based on the weighing of the interest of the rights of individuals and subgroups in the organization.
of the majority,
of the minority, especially a strong minority—greater than one third,
of individual members,
of absentees, and
of all these together.
The means of protecting all of these rights in appropriate measure forms much of the substance of parliamentary law. The need for this protection dictates the degree of development that the subject has undergone.
Parliamentary Law allows for a group of people to effectively empower their leadership while maintaining the degree of control over the body that they see fit.
Ultimately the general will is based of the majority vote of the body. However this action is only taken once the minatory has had the opportunity to make a case for and convince other of the other path in a full and free discussion. Only a Two-Thirds majority can silence any member and deny them the right to speak. -- However this shouldn’t be over used. A minority that doesn’t feel like they had a fair chance to state their side will not submit to the general will. It could either fraction the organization at beast or lead to members half assing putting the general will into effect.
In this connection, there is an underlying assumption of a right that exists even though it may not always be prudent or helpful for it to be exercised.
The next major point to protect against fluctuation in attendance. Thus RONR requires you to have more votes to change something previously adopted than to adopt it in the first place.
Fundamentally, under the rules of parliamentary law, a deliberative body is a free agent—free to do what it wants to do with the greatest measure of protection to itself and of consideration for the rights of its members.
The application of parliamentary law is the best method yet devised to enable assemblies of any size, with due regard for every member’s opinion, to arrive at the general will on the maximum number of questions of varying complexity in a minimum amount of time and under all kinds of internal climate ranging from total harmony to hardened or impassioned division of opinion.
