This paper introduces the concept of "social decision frames" to analyze strict majority reasoning within finite electorates. It identifies a coherence criterion for qualitative majority judgments, which precisely characterizes representability of strict majorities by finitely additive measures. The research also develops a natural logic for reasoning about strict majorities and applies these findings to refine Patrick Suppes's representation theorem for weak qualitative probability structures, establishing a May-type characterization for ordinary strict majority rule.
