What is stated about governing authority regarding legality, the golden rule, and majority definition?

• A. All frat activity will be legal, Golden rule will apply to the creation and revision of constitution, Majority defined as more than 50%.
• B. All frat activity will be illegal, Golden rule will apply, Majority defined as exactly 50%.
• C. Frat activity is limited to university policy; Golden rule applies, Majority defined as more than 60%.
• D. Frat activity is not governed by constitution; Golden rule is optional, Majority defined as at least 40%.

Answer: (A)

The question tests how the governing authority defines what’s allowed, how it handles creating and changing the rules (the constitution), and what counts as a majority. The best choice presents a clean, coherent framework: frat activity is allowed as long as it stays within the rules, the golden rule is applied to making and amending the constitution (emphasizing fair, balanced treatment in those processes), and a majority means more than 50% of the votes. This aligns with a straightforward governance approach: legality is governed by the rules, constitutional changes follow a fair, inclusive standard, and decisions require a simple >50% majority. The other options introduce inconsistencies—talking about universal illegality, exact 50% thresholds, dependence on university policy only, or the golden rule being optional—that don’t fit a consistent constitutional governance model.
