The Condorcet paradox illustrates a situation in voting systems where collective preferences can be cyclical and non-transitive, even if individual preferences are transitive. This paradox is an example of the type of voting inconsistency that Arrow's Impossibility Theorem addresses, showing that no voting system can convert the ranked preferences of individuals into a community-wide (complete and transitive) ranking while also meeting a specified set of criteria.
