(1.10)

  1. No, the United States federal system of voting does not satisfy anonymity because the system treats voters differently depending on their identity. For example, if the house and senate first vote to pass a bill, with less than majority in each chamber, but the President votes no(vetoes) the bill then the original proposal is blocked. Anonymity requires that if a set of two profiles are switched the end result should be the same. In this voting system, this is not the case-if a representative and the President switch votes, the bill would pass.
  2. No, the United States federal system of voting does not satisfy the neutrality criterion. In this example, the two candidates are to be "yes" and "no", either in favor or against respectively. If ,in the first round, every representative changes their original vote from no to yes, the presidential veto could still insure that the original proposal of the bill fails. This illustrates a scenario where the voting method is not neutral because neutrality requires the result to change in accordance with the vote.
  3. Yes, the voting method is monotone because for each additional "in-favor" or "yea" vote that the bill gets, then there is an increased likelihood that the bill will pass each chamber vote. In other words, voting yes for the bill will not hamper its ability to pass, it can only help.
  4. This is a decisive voting method because there is no alternative, either a bill will pass or it will fail, every single time.
