Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Majority of the People "We know that this instrument [The Constitution]... was carefully planned and deliberately framed... for the protection of the people, for the preservation of the rights of the individual, for the maintenance of the rights of minorities... That is the American system. It is immeasurably more important, immeasurably more sacred to the people of America, than the immediate adoption of any legislation, however beneficial." Report of the Senate Judiciary Committee, June 1937 "I think it my duty to submit without murmuring against what is not to be helped. In our government, opposition to the acts of the majority of the people is rebellion." John Quincy Adams "In those emergencies of a nation, in which the goodness or badness, the weakness or strength of its government, is of greatest importance, there is commonly a necessity for action. If a pertinacious minority can control the opinion of a majority respecting the best mode of conducting it, the majority, in order that something may be done, must conform to the views of the minority... Hence, tedious delays; continued negotiation and intrigue; contemptible compromises of the public good." Alexander Hamilton "I do not know of any serious attempt to reach a clear understanding of where and when the majority principle applies." Walter Lippmann "The relation of majority rule to minority rights raises some knotty problems in the No Man´s Land where the two areas meet and blur."
