    It’s to protect people from ‘the tyranny of the majority’. You don’t want the minority to be quelled and silenced just because more people disagree with them than agree. This is a fair and balanced take and ensures democracy works so long as the republicans are the minority. We’d make substantive changes if that were to change because we really want to avoid the tyranny of the democrats minority after all.
