'''Robert's Rules of Order''' is the oldest and most complex set of parliamentary procedures in use in the [[United States]]. It guides the decision-making by most deliberative assemblies, ranging from committees of only a dozen people to societies having memberships of many thousands. It is not limited to political bodies but is also used by many clubs and social societies.
