If the majority decides without caring about a small group’s safety and dignity, why is the democratic balance broken?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because democracy requires respect for minority rights along with majority rule

Correct answer: A, because democracy requires respect for minority rights along with majority rule. Majority decision-making is useful for resolving disagreement, but it does not give the majority unlimited power to harm, silence or humiliate a smaller group. Democratic government combines the principle of majority rule with equal citizenship, basic rights, dignity and protection from unfair treatment. A is correct because a decision is not fully democratic if it destroys the safety or voice of some citizens. B is wrong because majorities can and must make decisions through fair procedures. C is wrong because smaller groups remain citizens with rights and a legitimate voice. D is wrong because safety and dignity are essential democratic concerns. Memory cue: majority rule is not majority domination.
