Excerpt from The New Cushing's Manual of Parliamentary Law and Practice: According to Present American Usage, Together With a Working, Code for Societies, Revised and Enlarged Undoubtedly the assembly itself may adopt special rules restricting its action in certain cases as when the concurrence of two-thirds is made necessary for some purpose but such rules are no part Of general parliamentary law; they are binding when duly eu acted, not otherwise. It should be noted, however, that while parliamentary procedure is firmly based on the principle that the will of the majority shall ulti mately prevail, it by no means favors hasty and in considerate action. NO clearer and more adequate statement Of its true aim has ever been made than is found in the words which in the original edition of this work were placed at the end, which the reviser prefers to place at the beginning: The great purpose of all rules and forms is to sub serve the will of the assembly rather than to restrain it; to facilitate, and not to obstruct, the expression of their deliberate sense.
