Hamilton's Method | LQ with surplus |
Jefferson's Method | LQ |
Adam's Method | UQ |
Weber's Method | CQ |
Minimum number of the quota | 1 more than half of all total weights
example 1/2(w1+w2+w3) + 1
[q:13,9,8,2] (13+9+8+2) = 32 / 2 = 16 + 1 = answer 17 |
Maximum number of the quota | Sum of all the weights combined |
Veto Power | Needed in every single coalition in order to pass a motion |
Dummy | Is not needed to pass a motion |
Dictator | Can pass a motion by themself |
Minimum value of q to ensure all players have veto power | (w1+w2+w3+1)
Always make the last weight =1 |
Minimum value of q to ensure p4 is a dummy | drop the last weight completely
if 4 weights ( |
