question 11

Multiple Choice

In Figure 2, we illustrate a situation where we have a bicameral legislature. The location of the status quo policy is SQ, the location of the median voter in the lower chamber is LC, and the location of the median voter in the upper chamber is UC. Assume that both median voters have a single-peaked utility function and that the support of both chambers is needed to pass a new policy. Assume that a voter will vote for a new policy over the status quo if she is indifferent between them.

-Imagine that the status quo policy shown in Figure 2 were actually at 5 (assume that nothing else has changed) . Would this different status quo affect the answers to the previous questions concerning Figure 2?

• A) Yes, because the acceptable ranges for each median voter would be different. In fact, in this case the status quo could not be overturned in favor of any new policy.
• B) No, all of the answers to the preceding questions would be the same.
