Today’s “Word of the Day” is unanimity and it is a noun meaning “agreement (by all); consensus, accord, harmony, concord, harmony, unity, union, solidarity, like-mindedness, uniformity, concurrence, congruence”.
Example Sentence: In 2014, Parliament by unanimity — mark the word unanimity — backed by State legislatures enacted the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC); it comprised three judges, the Law Minister and two eminent persons to handle the task of appointing judges. By a 4:1 majority, the Supreme Court struck that down, setting at naught the entire legislative will of the country which was trying to reverse a constitutional coup.
