With open rule, any member of the committee may come up with an amendment. With closed rule, no amendments shall be offered, only members of the committee that are reporting the bill.

Closed rules do not allow members of the congress to over amendments to a bill on the floor, while open standards give members a right to take part in the change while on the floor.

The members under clear rules have the freedom to contribute to the changes in the house. Therefore these are special rules that are offering of the changes to the rules and make amendments through waiving the order points through the first state. The closed control does not allow modification of the laws by the members and other stakeholders.
