Resolution (law)

This March 24, 1775 resolution of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, signed by John Hancock weeks before the battles of Lexington and Concord, calls for the colony to be put into "a complete state of defense".[1] Resolutions are often preceded by "Whereas..." clauses that express reasons or justifications for the ensuing resolution.

In law, a resolution is a motion, often in writing[note 1], which has been adopted by a deliberative body (such as a corporations' board and or the house of a legislature). An alternate term for a resolution is a resolve.
