The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure states:
| “ | Parliamentary law is the procedural safeguard that protects the individual and the group in their exercise of the rights of free speech, free assembly, and the freedom to unite in organizations for the achievement of common aims. These rights, too, are meaningless, and the timeless freedoms they define can be lost, if parliamentary procedure is not observed...The philosophy of parliamentary law is constructive–to make it easier for people to work together effectively and to help organizations and members accomplish their purposes. | ” |
