 While Buchanan insists on unanimous consent for constitutional rules (strikingly, among non-ideal persons), he thinks that constitutions may allow for decision-making rules weaker than unanimity, such as majority rule. It is true that Buchanan (Buchanan and Tullock 1962: 85–96) argues that legislative rules should be supermajoritarian rather than majoritarian, but that is still an embrace of democracy, especially when undergirded by the consent of the people as a whole.
