Committees: Committees are small groups of legislators assigned specific tasks such as reviewing bills and conducting investigations. They serve as control mechanisms by organizing legislative work efficiently.
Rules of Procedure: These are established guidelines that dictate how legislative bodies operate. They provide structure and ensure fair practices during debates, voting procedures, and decision-making processes.
Filibuster: A filibuster is an obstructive tactic used in legislatures where a member speaks for an extended period to delay or prevent a vote on proposed legislation. It acts as a control mechanism by allowing minority parties to influence the legislative process.
