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.

In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, how does Francis taunt Scout and what happens?
kupik [55]
Here’s the answer if I’m correct. When Francis doesn't get the reaction he wants, he resorts to calling Atticus a "n-lover" for defending Tom Robinson. This is too much for Scout, who responds by punching him in the mouth so hard that she cuts her knuckles on his front teeth. Hope this helps
