Henry Martyn Robert was a member of the army, and he worked as an engineering officer. He was once asked to preside over a church meeting, but he suffered a terrible embarrassment because he realized he didn’t know how to do it.
After going through that terrible experience, he made a promise to himself that he would never participate again in an event like that, without knowing the basics of parliamentary law. As a member of the army, he traveled a lot across the U.S.A, and he discovered that they were all living in a “parliamentary anarchy”. He decided to create some laws to say goodbye to that chaos situation: he created Robert’s rules. You can find much more information both about the book and the author at this site.
