This paper formulates a simple mathematical framework for the selection of an optimum "relative unanimity” collective decision rule. The approach is first to identify the benefits of moving from a rule of simple majority towards a rule of full unanimity. Then, the costs of moving from simple majority rule towards unanimity are identified. Finally, the issue of an optimal decision rule is mathematically solved
