Definición

  • MAJORITY RULE IS a rational mechanism by which the outcome of an election is fairly determined based on a majority of voters or countries agreeing. It varies with the requirements of the voting process, where matters that are considered of the greatest social importance, such as amending the constitution, demand a higher majority percentage.
