samstemmige

samstemmige is a Danish term that translates to "unanimous" or "agreeing" in English. It is commonly used in legal and political contexts to describe a situation where all parties involved reach a complete consensus without any dissenting votes or opinions.

In legal proceedings, a samstemmige verdict by a jury means that every juror has agreed on the guilt or innocence of the accused. Similarly, in legislative bodies, a samstemmige decision indicates that all members of a committee or council have voted in favor of a particular proposal or bill. This level of agreement is often seen as a sign of strong support and broad acceptance for the decision being made.

The concept of samstemmige is also relevant in everyday language when referring to group decisions or opinions. If a group of friends unanimously agrees on a restaurant for dinner, they have reached a samstemmige decision. It signifies a lack of opposition and a shared viewpoint among the individuals concerned. The opposite of samstemmige would be a divided opinion or a majority vote where some members disagree.
