Tyranny of the Majority
Question
Is it advisable / necessary to place limits on the majority?
I’ll divide the question into two parts. A: should limits be placed on a small majority (51%)? And B: should limits be placed on a large majority (66%+)?
Answer
Yes. Yes.
Discussion on Answer
Sometimes yes and sometimes no. This discussion isn’t going anywhere. If you have a concrete question, ask it. Otherwise there’s no point to this.
Should those limits be applied equally to a small majority and to a large majority, or does a larger majority have more license to act?
