Question

Suppose we have three voters and four alternatives and suppose the individual preference lists are as follows: a c b b a d d b c c d a Show that if the social choice procedure being used is sequential pairwise voting with a fixed agenda, and, if you have agenda setting power (i.e., you get to choose the order), then you can arrange for whichever alternative you want to be the social choice.
