IV.   Consensus

A Question is a sentence or word expressed or written so as to elicit information or identify a matter requiring resolution or discussion.

The word Question originates from the Latin questus meaning “complaint, charge or lament”. Hence, a question by its original meaning implies one (1) or more presumptions in its delivery.

Informal grammar, a Question requires either an answer, or by custom that any silence is interpreted as an answer in the affirmative to the proposition put forward in the Question.

In Law, all formal and valid Questions pertaining to a matter must be fairly resolved before the matter can be properly concluded

In Law, all implied presumptions embedded within formal and valid Questions, stand unless rebutted.
