Why can majority rule also become dangerous without a constitution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because a majority can also violate rights

Direct answer: A is correct. Majority rule is an important democratic principle, but the number of supporters alone does not make every action fair or lawful. A temporary or permanent majority might use its power to silence a minority, deny equal treatment or remove freedoms from people who disagree. A constitution places majority decisions within limits by protecting basic rights, equality and lawful procedures. It also provides institutions and remedies through which unconstitutional action can be challenged. A is correct because it identifies the danger of rights violations by a majority. B is wrong because a majority can make unjust decisions; being larger in number does not guarantee justice. C is wrong because citizenship is not created only for the majority. D is wrong because the danger is abuse of power, not the automatic end of elections. Memory cue: democracy is majority rule plus minority rights and constitutional limits.
