For an Amendment to be ratified, it must receive approval from both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the states. It also requires the approval of the President. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land in the United States. The Supreme Court, the Bill of Rights, and the voice of the people all play important roles in the balance of power between the federal and state governments. The Preamble of the Constitution states, "We the People of the United States," emphasizing the importance of the citizens in the governing process. The President takes an oath of office, and the Supreme Court is symbolized by the words engraved above its doors.

1.10. The US Federal System is the voting method for passing a bill into law. It involves 100 members of the Senate, 435 members of the House of Representatives, the vice president, and the president, for a total of 537 voters. For a bill to pass, it must have a majority in the House, a majority in the Senate, with the possibility of the vice president breaking a tie, and the signature of the President; or if the president opposes the bill, it must have a 2/3 super-majority in both the House and Senate to override the veto. Otherwise the bill is defeated. Think of this as a social choice function where the alternatives are A, to pass the bill, or B, to defeat the bill. Does the US federal system satisfy: (a) the anonymity criterion? (b) the neutrality criterion? (c) the monotonicity criterion? (d) the decisiveness criterion?
