A quorum is the minimum number of voting members present to conduct a valid, binding vote. Specifying that minimum number is necessary in order to prevent two or three voting members of a body from conducting official business in the absence of most members. For example, 3 members could lock themselves in the chamber and begin passing laws while the rest of the voting body were outside banging on the doors. Or, 5 members could agree to meet secretly in the middle of the night and pass laws while the other members slept.
