What is a majority vs a supermajority?

A majority typically refers to more than 50% of the total votes or participants, while a supermajority requires a higher threshold, often set at two-thirds or three-fourths of the votes or participants. Supermajority requirements are usually used for important decisions that require broader consensus among members or stakeholders.
