Dictionary of Terms and Phrases Used in American or English Jurisprudence
In parliamentary and legislative practice, an additional clause prepared and annexed to the bill while in course of passage; one which is or is supposed to be draughted on a small separate paper, and fastened to the main bill, so as to ride upon it, as it were, through the legislature; is called a rider. And the term is not inappropriate to similar additions, made in other kinds of draughting.
