If the majority bans a peaceful minority meeting, what is the main democratic problem?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Respect for minority rights and freedom will weaken

The direct answer is D, Respect for minority rights and freedom will weaken. Democracy is not simply majority rule; it also protects the rights and freedoms of minorities. Step by step: the meeting is peaceful, so it does not by itself threaten public safety; the majority bans it because the participants are a minority; peaceful assembly and expression are restricted because of group status; therefore minority rights, freedom, equality, and democratic pluralism are harmed. Option D is correct because it describes the central democratic problem. Option A, fewer polling booths, is an election logistics issue and does not follow from banning a meeting. Option B, a wrong voter list, concerns voter registration and is unrelated. Option C, a changed election symbol, concerns election identification, not assembly rights. A majority may regulate unlawful violence through fair law, but it cannot suppress a peaceful minority merely by using its numbers. Memory cue: majority rule has limits—basic rights belong to minorities too.
