"It has been said that the medieval English Parliament began as an occasion and that, in due course, the occasion became an institution, an institution that, even as it kept the same name all the way to the present, altered its rules and practices across the centuries. The earliest meetings of the MWCBS followed, I believe, just such a pattern."--Walter L. Arnstein, 2004
