THE RULE OF THE MAJORITY VERSUS THE RULE OF LAWS APPROVED BY THE MAJORITY
Democracy is supposed to protect important values like peace, justice, and liberty, but it is getting weakened by special interest groups. Instead of decisions being based on what the general public thinks, politicians often focus on pleasing these groups to keep their power. This practice, where votes are bought through deals, goes against the true meaning of democracy, which should reflect the will of the people. When we say that a majority can do whatever it wants, it can lead to oppression, as these representatives do not actually represent everyone. For democracy to function properly, government power must be limited and based on general rules that apply to all individuals. The right to enforce laws should come from common beliefs shared by the people. In a successful democratic system, authority must come from the general opinion of the citizens, ensuring both order and freedom in society.
