在议会程序中,previous question 指的是在议长提出主要问题之前,是否应对主要问题进行投票的提问。
The great remedy against prolix or obstructive debate is the so called previous question, which is moved in the form, "Shall the main question be now put?" and when ordered closes forthwith all debate, and brings the House to a direct vote on that main question. ... Closure by previous question, first established in 1811, is in daily use, and is considered so essential to the progress of business that I never found any member or official willing to dispense with it. Even the senators, who object to its introduction into their own much smaller chamber, agree that it must exist in a large body like the House. [James Bryce, "The American Commonwealth," vol. I., 1893]
针对冗长或阻碍性辩论的有效解决方案就是所谓的“前置问题”,其形式为“是否现在对主要问题进行表决?”一旦通过,该提问会立即结束所有辩论,并直接对主要问题进行投票……这种通过前置问题结束辩论的方式最早在1811年确立,如今已被广泛使用,并被认为对议程的推进至关重要,以至于我从未遇到过任何成员或官员愿意放弃它。即使是那些反对在自己规模较小的议会中引入这一机制的参议员们,也一致认为在像众议院这样的大型机构中必须保留它。[詹姆斯·布莱斯,《美国的联邦》,第一卷,1893年]
