Where does letting a minority decide that it should stay make any more sense than letting a minority decide it should go?

“Where does letting a minority decide that it should stay make any more sense than letting a minority decide it should go?”

Our nation’s laws were established to protect the interests of the minority from the tyranny of the majority. What you seem to be advocating, by majority rule, is a pure democracy; and we all know what the wolves and the lamb had to say about what to eat for dinner based on the pure democracy of majority vote. No thanks. Give me a Constitutional Republic over a pure democracy any time.
