Parliamentary procedures and pirate code

Research
1

I read an excerpt from this book in History Today and thought some of you would find it interesting. Especially @wilbert !
We the Miners: Self-Government in the California Gold Rush

The book and article explore how people on the American frontiers frequently adopted parliamentary procedures to organize and revise joint agreements. Book review with glimmers here

It reminded me a bit of how self-governance evolved in 18th-century pirate ships and modern approaches to self-governing teams.
