Why is it said that rights save democracy from becoming only a game of majority?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They test every decision against individual liberty and dignity

Direct answer: C is correct. Democracy is not merely the rule of the larger number; it must also protect every person, including minorities and individuals who disagree with the majority. Rights set constitutional limits on what a government or majority may do. Liberty means having protected space to think, speak and live freely, while dignity means being treated as an equal human being. Thus, a decision is not automatically just simply because more people support it. Option A is wrong because rights do not always cancel election results; they make governments follow constitutional limits. Option B is wrong because rights do not reduce the number of voters. Option D is wrong because choosing an opposition is not the function of rights. Memory cue: majority decides, but rights protect the person. This balance prevents majority rule from becoming majority domination.
