Answer 1

The belief that the will of most of the people will be just more often than it will be unjust is called majority rule. It is not minority rule, compromise, or autocracy!

Answer 2

The correct answer is majority rule.

This concept that the will of most will be more just than it will be unjust is constantly seen in America's political system. For example, many local, state, and national elections are passed on the idea of majority rule. The candidate who receives the most votes wins and ultimately will best serve the citizens of their city or state. The majority rule is an integral part of America's political system.
