{
Previous question },
a question put to a parliamentary assembly upon the motion of a member ,
in order to ascertain whether it is the will of the body to vote at once ,
without further debate ,
on the subject under consideration .
Note :
The form of the question is : "
Shall the main question be now put ?"
If the vote is in the 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 . --

To inquire is merely to ask for information ,
and implies no authority in the one who asks .

To question has a wider sense than to interrogate ,
and often implies an attitude of distrust or opposition on the part of the questioner .
