It's basically a rulebook on how formal proceedings should be conducted. Who can talk when. Who has the last say so. Who has the power. What do when there is a disagreement. I've never read it, but that's what I gathered about it from the context of different situations.

The book is designed for use in ordinary societies rather than legislative assemblies, and it is the most commonly adopted parliamentary authority among societies in the United States. The book claims to be a codification of the Common Law of Parliamentary Procedure; however, courts have ruled it is only persuasive and not binding upon assemblies that have not formally adopted it,
