Parliamentary Basics: Rules That Govern an Organization
An organization is typically governed by several different types of rules. These rules form a hierarchy, with higher-ranking classes of rules superseding those of a lower rank.
Common classes of rules, listed from highest- to lowest-ranking, include:
- Federal, state, and local laws
- Articles of Incorporation
- Bylaws
- Special rules of order
- Standing rules
- Parliamentary authority
- Custom
Consult Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised for more information on each of these types of rules, or find out how to learn more about the rules governing an organization.
