"Majority rule" is simply a phrase to describe representative government (as set up in the Constitution). Must be the public school thing again.

Last time I checked, if the US was "majority rule," then Gore would have won the 2000 presidential election. Bush won the election because the US is a representative republic, and not a "majority rules" democracy.

That's the electoral college system for you. Nice job cherry-picking from the rest of my reply.

You mean a constitutional republic. The "majority" rule is subservient to the Constitution.
