In a legitimate weighted voting system, the weights should be proportional to the number of voters represented by each weight. This ensures that larger groups of voters have more influence. Both systems I and II satisfy this condition because the sum of the weights in each system is equal to the total number of voters, and the ratio of the weights reflects the ratio of the number of voters represented by each weight. Therefore, both systems are legitimate.
