The committee occurs as deliberative assembly that is subordinate to another big deliberative assembly.

Committees, two lasting & ad hoc, come out each witharound representative democracies & in non-democratic structures. It can bear titles like "Commission", "Board", "Presidium", "Commissariat", "Politburo" or even "Council". Depreciator & enemies might like to utilize less flattering labels like junta, camarilla or cabal. The committee could comprise the sub-grouping of the big person, & within its turn stand sub-committees.

Committees could use a benefit of widening viewpoints & sharing out responsibilities. Their disadvantages come out in their reputation for procrastination, often ridiculous compromises, and groupthink. the want to call for a meeting, gain the quorum and debate until a majority agrees on a course could stultify action at the expense of discussion.

Notable committees include:

Committee of Public Safety Central Committee (of a Communist party) House Un-American Activities Committee Committee for Green Foothills U.S. Congressional committees

The subcommittee occurs as subset of the committee, formed to assume a limited topic or even range of topics that would become unfeasible for the fully committee to assume.

Notable subcommittees include: Subcommittee on Human Rights of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament
