  3. Arrow’s Conditions 1) Nondictatorship – one person’s votes should not be better then another person’s votes 2) Individual Sovereignty – everyone should be allowed to order their choices in any order they want 3) Unanimity – if everyone prefers one choice to another, then the group ranking should do the same

  4. Arrow’s Conditions 4) Freedom from Irrelevant Alternatives – if a choice is removed, the order in which the others are ranked should not change 5) Uniqueness of Group Ranking – The method of producing group ranking should give same result whenever it is applied to a given set of preferences. (not rolling a dice)
