usage patterns
Parliamentary procedure is based on the
principles of allowing the majority to make
decisions effectively and efficiently
(majority rule), while ensuring fairness
towards the minority and giving each
member or delegate the right to voice an
opinion.[12] Voting determines the will of
the assembly. While each assembly may
create their own set of rules, these sets
tend to be more alike than different. A
common practice is to adopt a standard
reference book on parliamentary
procedure and modify it through special
rules of order that supersede the adopted
authority.

Parliamentarians
In the United States, individuals who are
proficient in parliamentary procedure are
called parliamentarians (in other English-
speaking countries with parliamentary
forms of government, "parliamentarian"
refers to a member of Parliament).
