The geometry of Black's single peakedness and related conditions

By using geometry to analyze all three candidate profiles satisfying Black's single peakedness constraint, we characterize all associated election behavior. The same analysis is applied to related profile constraints where some candidate never is top-ranked, or never bottom ranked.
