17: Majority rule and minority experience
from Inappropriate Conversations Hosted by IC_Greg
America functions with a careful balance on a couple of ideas. One is majority rule. The other is checks/balances on power. Controls are in place specifically to prevent oppression of minority groups. Always get suspicious when you hear someone complain about "the will of the majority" being thwarted.
