Why is a Constitution necessary to stop the tyranny of the majority?

Correct answer: Because it limits majority arbitrariness through rights

The correct answer is B: a Constitution limits the arbitrary action of a majority through rights and constitutional rules. Democracy allows decisions to be made by a majority, but majority support does not give the winning group permission to remove the basic rights of minorities or opponents. Fundamental rights, equality and constitutional limits protect every citizen, including people who are temporarily outnumbered. Option A is wrong because a majority can govern in a democracy, but it must respect constitutional limits. Option C is the opposite of constitutional protection; minorities are citizens with equal rights. Option D is wrong because constitutional democracy depends on regular, meaningful elections rather than stopping them. The key distinction is between legitimate majority rule and unlimited majority power. Memory cue: majority decides, but rights set the boundary.
