The argument that supports the idea that a government based on majority rule cannot be based on justice is that those in power are corrupt.

<h3>Who was Ralph Waldo Emerson?</h3>

He was an important writer and abolitionist during the 19th century.

<h3>What did he think about politics?</h3>

One of the ideas supported by Waldo was that the existing government was far from ideal. Indeed, Waldo believed government based on majority rule does not enhance justice.

This is because according to Waldo all political parties and politicians are corrupt as they are looking for their own interests rather than thinking about general society.

What was the impact of transcendentalism on literature ?
kenny6666 [7]

The Transcendentalists were radical thinkers. At the time of their meetings, New England was still holding on to a remnant of Puritanical values. There was a sense that organized religion had authority over one's personal life and individual choices. For the Transcendentalists, this was a big no-no! They were quite critical of conformity, or forcing one's behavior to match social expectations or standards. They were nonconformists - people who do not conform to a generally accepted pattern of thought or action. They rejected common ideas and practices, particularly organized religion. There wasn't a Transcendentalist church or a holy book of Transcendentalism. Instead, there were regular meetings for lively conversation and a shared hope of cultivating a modern, fluid, and personal sense of spirituality.
