Chapter 1, Mishna 1

From where is the rule to follow the majority derived?
Do we clearly follow the majority when the majority is directly visible and countable?
Do we follow a majority that is assumed but not directly countable?
What is the source for following a non countable majority?
Do we learn to follow an assumed majority from relying on most animals not being tereifot?
Does the burnt offering prove that we follow the majority if the head could still be checked?
Does the Paschal offering prove that we follow the majority when defects cannot be checked?
Does the peace offering tail prove that we follow the majority when defects can’t be checked?
Is the tail cut in a place that would make a spinal injury a tereifa?
Do we derive that we follow the majority from eglah arufah despite possible tereifa concerns?
Do we learn follow the majority from the red heifer?
Can the scapegoat we follow the majority if it is torn apart before any inspection is possible?
Do we learn that we follow the majority from killing a son who strikes his father despite uncertainty of paternity?
Is the father’s identity certain or still based on majority since there is no guarantee of fidelity?
Do we rely on the majority of people not being tereifot when judging a murderer?
Can we reject the majority proof since tereifa status is checked after death?
Is majority only followed when inspection is impossible?
In what case is it necessary to require someone to watch the slaughter?
Why is watching one properly slaughtered siman not enough to assume validity?
What’s the difference between slaughter and teruma with respect to the majority principle?
Do they disagree about whether people throw non slaughtered carcasses into a home scrap heap?
Does Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi contradict himself about meat found on a house scrap heap?
Does the wording “lest they ruin” mean we may not give them animals to slaughter?
Which tanna holds that ritual slaughter does not require intent?
Is Rabbi Natan the one who holds slaughter is valid even without intent?
How can a thrown knife perform valid slaughter if it needs back and forth cutting?
