What day did they teach this concept in school? I must of missed it. That's OK, perhaps you could just point me to one of the founding documents that delineates the US Government as "majority rules."
Must have been public school. This country was founded upon the morals of the Christian tradition. The Ten Commandments were a basis for some of the most basic laws in our society; such as killing, adultery, theft, etc. Doesn't the Congress need a majority to pass legislation? The Congress is supposed to be representative of the population as a whole. Our founding documents are based upon the teachings of Christianity, like it or not. "Majority rule" is simply a phrase to describe representative government (as set up in the Constitution). Must be the public school thing again.
