If a committee makes a majority decision but gives the minority no chance to give reasons, what is the problem?

Correct answer: Deliberation is incomplete along with majority decision

Direct answer: A is correct. Majority decision-making is an important democratic method, but it should normally be preceded by discussion in which different views can be presented. If the minority is not allowed to explain its reasons, the committee loses useful information and the decision becomes less deliberative. A is not saying that the majority has no role; it says that majority rule should be combined with listening and reasoned discussion. B is wrong because the majority remains important for reaching a decision. C is wrong because being a minority does not automatically make a group correct. D is wrong because decisions can still be made after fair discussion and voting. Memory cue: democracy means majority rule with respect for minority voice, not majority rule without dialogue.
