What is the difference between a motion and a resolution?

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

(ii) Difference between Motion and Resolution Most matters come before a meeting by way of a motion recommending that the meeting may express approval or disapproval or take certain action or order something to be done.A motion is a proposal, and a resolution is the adoption of a motion duly made and seconded. But every motion need not be followed by a resolution, e.g. where a motion is made for the adjournment of the meeting.A motion whether it is passed for the closure of discussion or adjournment, etc. can be passed by an ordinary resolution unless there is a specific provision in the articles.
