      {Previous question}, a question put to a parliamentary
            assembly upon the motion of a member, in order to

               affirmative, the matter before the body must be voted
               upon as it then stands, without further general debate
               or the submission of new amendments. In the House of
               Representatives of the United States, and generally in
               America, a negative decision operates to keep the
               business before the body as if the motion had not been
               made; but in the English Parliament, it operates to
               postpone consideration for the day, and until the
               subject may be again introduced. In American practice,
               the object of the motion is to hasten action, and it is
               made by a friend of the measure. In English practice,
               the object is to get rid of the subject for the time
               being, and the motion is made with a purpose of voting
               against it. --Cushing.
  
      {To beg the question}. See under {Beg}.
  
      {To the question}, to the point in dispute; to the real

      1. A kind or species; any number or collection of individual

      Usage: {Sort}, {Kind}. Kind originally denoted things of the
                  same family, or bound together by some natural

                  which constitutes a particular lot of parcel, not
                  implying necessarily the idea of affinity, but of mere
                  assemblage. the two words are now used to a great
                  extent interchangeably, though sort (perhaps from its
                  original meaning of lot) sometimes carries with it a
                  slight tone of disparagement or contempt, as when we
                  say, that sort of people, that sort of language.
