A member of a legislature appointed to facilitate party organization within the legislature. Generally, parties will each appoint a chief whip with a team of junior whips. The term is derived from the 'whipper in' of English hunting parlance, whose role it is to keep the pack together in chasing its quarry.
The Majority whips in Congress have several duties. They are conduits for information between the party leaders and the members. They encourage the members of their party to support the party's position on legislation and "whip" reluctant members into line.
The minority whip's role is to enforce the rules and make sure the party goes along with what the party leader wants.
