Which parliamentary authority's original book, which has the title Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, has been updated by the American Institute of Parliamentarians?

• A. Sturgis
• B. Robert's Rules
• C. Gardiner's
• D. Massey's

Answer: (A)

The work referred to as the Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure is the book by Sturgis. The American Institute of Parliamentarians later updated that text, producing what is commonly known as the Sturgis Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure. This distinguishes it from the other authorities: Gardiner's is a different parliamentary practice used in other traditions, Massey's is another separate manual, and Robert's Rules is a separate code with its own updates. So the author associated with the Standard Code that was updated by the American Institute of Parliamentarians is Sturgis.
