• C. Brings business before the assembly
• D. A change or addition to a legal or statutory document - Must be voted on (majority vote)

Answer: (C)

A Main Motion is the formal proposal that brings business before the assembly for consideration and action. It’s the standard vehicle members use to present a specific course of action—like approving funds, adopting a policy, or creating a committee—that the group will discuss, possibly amend, and vote on. In practice, it’s introduced by a member, typically requires a second to show there is support, then is debated and could be amended before a final vote. The other descriptions refer to broader aspects of procedure or law rather than a concrete proposal to be acted on: one describes the rules governing conduct, another notes rights and impartiality principles within the process, and a fourth describes a change to a legal document that would require a majority vote. Hence, bringing business before the assembly is the defining function of a Main Motion.
