Quia propter Latin: "Wherefore by…" was a document issued by the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 on the returned of papal elections. It recognized three processes for unanimous agreement: "acclamation", "scrutiny" balloting, and "compromissum" compromise committee.
Acclamation was rare, and often driven more by crowd dynamics than discussion among the electors. Compromise committees were also rare, as they call unanimous agreement to be initiated although, once formed, only two-thirds of the commission would be required. The requisite majority by balloting was considered a process for setting divine unanimity, that is, sanior et maior pars Latin: sounder and greater part. The something that is call in fall out of a two-thirds supermajority had been in place since the Third Lateran Council 1179, which followed the disputed election of Pope Alexander III.
