A type of legislation, technically different from a "bill." (1) Joint Resolutions [H.J.Res. or S.J. Res] become law and must be passed by both the House and Senate. This form is used most often for amendments to the Constitution, expressions of congressional opinion ["sense of Congress" resolutions], and appropriations bills. (2) Simple Resolutions [H.Res. or S.Res.] do not become law and are passed by only one house. Used most often to take an action within the one chamber, e.g. create a new committee, or to express the opinion of that one chamber ["sense of the Senate," for example].

Documents which may or may not accompany a petition expressing an opinion or the sentiment of one or both branches of the General Court, used for congratulations, for memorializing the Congress of the United States regarding public questions, etc. Resolutions do not require the governor's signature.

A formal statement of opinion, will, or intention. A resolution is voted on by an official body or group. For example, the United Nations must pass a resolution before they can send a peacekeeping force to a troubled area of the world. See peacekeeping.

These are one of two main methods the Council uses to signal a political commitment, without the need for binding legislation. They also have the advantage of not needing the Commission to propose them - generally the Presidency will do so. They are generally recognised as needing the agreement of all Member States (and usually of the Commission too). They are Council inventions and tools (ie do not appear in the Treaties), and are of slightly less force than the other method used - Conclusions.

Proposals made at the AGM that require shareholder approval.
