Canon (basic principle)

The concept of canon is very broad; in a general sense it refers to being one (adjectival) or a group (noun) of official, authentic or approved rules or laws, particularly ecclesiastical; or group of official, authentic, or approved literary or artistic works, such as the literature of a particular author, of a particular genre, or a particular group of religious scriptural texts,^[1] or similarly, one or a body of rules, principles, or standards accepted as axiomatic and universally binding in a religion, or a field of study or art.^[2] This can be related to such topics as literary canons, a topic within itself, for which see canon (disambiguation)#Literature.

There is also the concept of the canons of rhetoric, including five key principles, which when grouped together, are the principles set for giving speeches.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
