==Description==
A '''resolution''' is a [[written]] motion adopted by a [[deliberative]] body. The substance of the resolution can be anything that can [[normally]] be proposed as a motion. For long or important motions, though, it is often better to have them written out so that [[discussion]] is easier or so that it can be distributed outside of the body after its adoption. An alternate term for a resolution is a resolve.
Resolutions are commonly used in corporations and houses of [[legislature]].
==Types==
In a house of a [[legislature]], the term non-binding resolution refers to measures that do not become [[laws]]. This is used to differentiate those measures from a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_(proposed_law) bill], which is also a resolution in the technical sense. The resolution is often used to express the body's [[approval]] or disapproval of something which they cannot otherwise [[vote]] on, due to the matter being handled by another [[jurisdiction]], or being protected by a [[constitution]]. An example would be a resolution of [[support]] for a nation's troops in [[battle]], which carries no legal weight, but is adopted for [[moral]] [[support]].
==Substantive and procedural==
Substantive resolutions apply to [[essential]] [[legal]] [[principles]] and rules of [[right]], [[analogous]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substantive_law substantive law], in contrast to procedural resolutions, which deal with the [[methods]] and means by which substantive items are made and [[administered]].
