Rules of order consist of rules written by the body itself, but also usually supplemented by a published parliamentary authority adopted by the body. Typically, national, State , and other full-scale Legislative Assemblies have extensive internally written rules of order, whereas non-legislative bodies write and adopt a limited set of specific rules as the need arises. In the United States , most State Legislatures follow '' Mason's Manual Of Legislative Procedure ''. The United States Senate follows the Standing Rules Of The Senate . Most other deliberative assemblies follow '' Robert's Rules Of Order ''. US organizations dedicated to promoting the general use of parliamentary procedure include the National Association Of Parliamentarians and the American Institute Of Parliamentarians . In the United Kingdom , Thomas Erskine May 's ''A Practical Treatise on the Law, Privileges, Proceedings and Usage of Parliament'' (often referred to simply as ''Erskine May'') is the accepted authority on the powers and procedures of the Westminster Parliament . In Quebec , commonly used rules of order for ordinary societies include Victor Morin's ''Procédures des assemblées délibérantes'' (commonly known as the ''Code Morin'') and the ''Code CSN ''.
