Why can democracy turn into majoritarianism without a Constitution?

Correct answer: Because the majority may accept no limits on itself

Direct answer: A is correct. Democracy is more than counting votes; it also requires respect for rights, equality, constitutional limits and the participation of minorities. Without a constitution, a temporary or permanent majority might use its numerical strength to silence opposition, deny equal treatment or make rules that harm a minority. This is majoritarianism: the majority treats its preference as unlimited authority. A is correct because constitutional rules place boundaries even on elected majorities and protect people who do not belong to the majority. B is wrong because a constitution does not automatically remove the majority; it regulates majority power. C is wrong because elections alone cannot guarantee rights between elections. D is wrong because minorities are citizens with rights and may rightly demand protection. Memory cue: democracy means majority rule with minority rights, not majority rule without limits.
