Majority rule and unanimity are both inherently contradictory solutions.

Evidence

But, on the other hand, the requirement of unanimity which is to meet this contradiction, shows itself to be no less contradictory and unfair. And this is not an accidental dilemma, not a merely logical difficulty. It is only one among the symptoms of the deep and tragic ambiguity which pervades the very roots of every societal formation, of every formation of a unit out of units. — Georg Simmel, The Sociology of Georg Simmel, 6322
