Abstract

This article explains the absence of cycles in regular governmental voting procedures. Most acts of Congress and other legislative bodies are the result of the negotiation carried on in private. As a result of this negotiation, the bill would be impossible to beat by any ordinary alternative. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 2000
