"The first principle of republicanism is that the lex majoris partis is the fundamental law of every society of individuals of equal rights; to consider the will of the society enounced by the majority of a single vote as sacred as if unanimous is the first of all lessons in importance, yet the last which is thoroughly learnt. This law once disregarded, no other remains but that of force, which ends necessarily in military despotism."
--Thomas Jefferson
Yep, the 'democratic' principle that majority rules..
However -- We live under a republican form of government, where our Constitution rules as supreme law.

Gotta love the Jefferson quote game, -- but nothing can be resolved by them unless you establish context.
Jefferson was above all a politician, very adept at writing what his correspondents wanted to hear.
Try again.
