If a majority-elected government stops the minority from voting, why is this not democratic?

Correct answer: Because even majority cannot take away equal voting rights

The direct answer is option A: even a majority cannot take away equal voting rights. Democracy includes majority rule, but majority rule is not unlimited. A government may win an election with more votes, yet it must still respect the equal rights of all citizens, including those who supported other candidates. Stopping a minority from voting destroys political equality and prevents genuine future choice. Option A is correct because equal suffrage is a basic democratic right that cannot be cancelled merely because a group is smaller. Option B is wrong because the minority does not always rule; normally the majority forms the government, while the minority retains rights and can criticise or replace it later. Option C is wrong because voting is essential to political participation. Option D is wrong because winning one election does not give a government permanent permission to remove rights. Memory cue: democracy means majority decision with minority rights, not majority dictatorship.
