If majority says minority rights depend on winners' will what is the correct democratic view?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Basic rights remain protected even from majority will

The correct answer is B: basic rights remain protected even from the will of the majority. Democracy is not simply rule by whichever group has more votes. It also means rule according to the Constitution, law and rights. Step by step: the majority chooses a government; however, the majority cannot legally take away the basic dignity, liberty and equality of minorities merely because it has more votes. Courts, constitutional safeguards and fundamental rights place limits on majority power. Option A is wrong because a winner cannot treat rights as a personal gift. Option B is correct because basic rights protect every person, including minorities, from arbitrary majority action. Option C is wrong because minorities are citizens and need rights equally. Option D is wrong because courts help protect rights and review unlawful government action. Memory cue: majority rule operates within rights, not above rights.
