Reconsideration of a motion

Okay, so let's say you and your friends are playing a game and you make a rule that says no one can touch the ball with their hands. But then one of your friends accidentally touches the ball with their hands and everyone gets mad at them for breaking the rule.

Now, let's imagine that your friend made a mistake and didn't actually touch the ball with their hands. They really want to keep playing and not get in trouble. So they raise their hand and ask if everyone can think about their decision again. This is called a motion for reconsideration.

When someone makes a motion for reconsideration, it means they want everyone to take another look at what happened and maybe change their minds. Just like when you're playing a game and someone thinks there was a mistake, they can ask everyone to think it over again.

But, if you want to make a motion for reconsideration, there are a few things you have to do. First, you have to wait for the right time. Usually, you can only make this motion right after the decision was made. It's like asking to play the game again right after a rule was broken.

Next, you have to say why you want people to reconsider. You have to explain why you think everyone should take another look at what happened and maybe change their minds. It's like telling your friends why you think it's important to give your friend another chance to keep playing.

After you explain why, everyone in the game gets to vote on whether they want to reconsider or not. If most of the people agree with you and think it's fair to give your friend another chance, they will vote "yes." But if most of the people still think the rule was broken, they will vote "no" and the decision stays the same.

In the end, making a motion for reconsideration is a way to ask everyone to think about a decision again and see if they want to change their minds. It's like giving people a second chance to play the game or follow the rules.
