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.

How is anne's diary a portrait of courage?(diarist of anne frank) PLZ THIS JS WORTH SO MUCH POINTS
svetoff [14.1K]
It’s a portrait of courage because it shows that even through the most dangerous of times in her life she was able to function, and somewhat carry on. Her and her family had to adjust to survive. Most people today wouldn’t have been able to go through what she and many others went through but it was their only choice if they wanted to live. What through is a great definition of courage and her diary is what paints a picture in our minds of what she really went through.
