What class of motions does "Object to the Consideration of Question" belong to?

"Object to the Consideration of Question" belongs to the class of motions known as incidental motions. This type of motion is specifically used to challenge whether a particular matter should be considered by the assembly at that time.

Incidental motions are often procedural in nature and can be made during the consideration of main motions to address immediate concerns or issues that arise. In this case, the motion to object is not focused on altering or influencing the main business at hand but instead seeks to prevent the assembly from even entertaining that business. It allows members to express their disapproval without engaging in a debate over the merits of the issue itself. This function is crucial in maintaining order and relevance in meetings, ensuring that only discussion deemed appropriate by the assembly is allowed.

In contrast, the other classes of motions—subsidiary, main, and privileged—serve different purposes. Subsidiary motions assist in the handling or changing of main motions, main motions introduce new business, and privileged motions deal with urgent matters that take precedence over ordinary business.
