Can unilateral mean unanimous? [closed]
Solution 1:
“Unilateral” means that one side acts alone; this implies that dissent does exist but is simply powerless to stop it. For instance, if one political party has enough power to pass a law without any votes from the other party(ies), they can act unilaterally.
“Unanimous” means everyone is on the same side; there is no dissent. For instance, a vote to adjourn for lunch is often unanimous because everyone is hungry.
Solution 2:
No, it can't. Unilateral has the specific meaning 'carried out by, or pertaining to, only one side'. It assumes that there are two sides in an argument, or several groups/countries involved in a situation.
