A motion is a written or oral application to a court in a pending case seeking some sort of ruling or order. A petition, on the other hand, is always in writing, and is considered a pleading, used to commence a proceeding, or initiate a collateral one. I strongly encourage you to seek out and retain an attorney.
FrÃ©dÃ©ric Bastiat quotes (showing 1-30 of 244) â 1 Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion.
Rousseau roughly distinguishes three forms of government. When all or most of the citizens are magistrates, the government is a democracy. When fewer than half the citizens are magistrates, the government is an aristocracy. When there is only one magistrate (or in some cases a small handful of magistrates), the government is a monarchy.
