ABSTRACT
Marquis de Condorcet wanted to contribute to the discussion on the new constitutions in France and America after their respective revolutions. Thus, he had complex social decisions in mind when he did his analysis. It is understandable that his work is not always without contradictions as is mentioned by experts of Condorcet's work such as McLean and Hewitt (Condorcet, 1996). Maybe it is due to the difficulty in getting policy recommendations from tractable models of decisionmaking; models that are by necessity based on simplifying assumptions. It is precisely this area of conflict that led to my commentary on the paper entitled 'The Condorcet Jury Theorem and Complex Social Decisions'.
