Doctrine and Covenants D&C 26:2
"And all things shall be done by common consent in the church, by much prayer and faith, for all things you shall receive by faith. Amen."
Book of Mormon Mosiah 29:26
"therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law—to do your business by the voice of the people."

Parallel of mechanism only: a body's assent as the ordinary way business is settled. The wording is not shared — 'common consent' appears at five distinct frozen verses in the corpus, all in the D&C, and nowhere in the Book of Mormon; 'the voice of the people' at twenty-four, almost all Book of Mormon. The bodies differ (a church, a nation) and Mosiah supplies a justification about majorities the revelation does not. Rendered on the page as a weigh-this callout, not asserted.
