How does a resolution relate to motions?

A resolution is the initial proposal before a motion. A resolution is a formal expression of opinion or decision resulting from a vote on one or more motions. A resolution is a type of directive requiring dissemination. A resolution is the same as a motion.

Correct Answer:

A resolution is a formal expression of opinion or decision resulting from a vote on one or more motions.

Explanation:

In meetings, a motion is the proposal brought forward for consideration. After members debate and vote on one or more motions, the result is a formal resolution that expresses the group's opinion or decision. This resolution records what action the body has decided to take or what stance it has adopted and can guide implementation or be shared with others. It isn’t the initial proposal itself, nor is it simply a directive that must be disseminated, and it isn’t the same thing as a motion.
