"This is why the constitution is written the way it was, to protect the majority from the morals of a minority."

Well, actually, the founding fathers had the minority in mind. That is to say, the Bill of Rights was written to protect the minority of one (a.k.a. THE INDIVIDUAL) from the force of the majority. This is also known as mob rule.

It is sad to say, but MOB RULE is all the rage in this country now days.
