The media has the ability to influence public opinion of wars by putting out propaganda in support of one country and against another. This garners public support for one country and their actions while condemning the other. The information is often one sided and not relayed in a subjective manner, creating an unfair bias in the public eye.
As the director of a restorative justice program in your community, you should NOT care if the juvenile is innocent or not given that the program is restorative, not punitive.
Even though there may be no evidence and the juvenile and his lawyer maintain his innocence, the program is put in place to help juveniles with obtaining job training, educational skills, and other programs that can enrich the youths life in major ways.
American founding fathers were concerned with the limits of democracy. Their concerns are similar to those of political philosophers such as John Stuart Mill (<em>On Liberty</em>) and Alexis de Tocqueville (<em>Democracy in America</em>). In particular, they were concerned that an excess of democracy would lead to a “tyranny of the majority.”
The tyranny of the majority refers to a situation in democratic rule where a self-interested majority can put their interests above those of the minority. It is an inherent weakness of majority rule and can lead to the oppression of minorities.
Alexander Hamilton wrote to Thomas Jefferson about this worry after The Constitutional Convention in 1787, and the constitution that was drafted reflects these concerns. The Electoral College is partly a safety mechanism to prevent the democratic victory of a tyrannical despot. Other mechanisms introduced were the Bill of Rights and the division of power, which prevents the centralization of all power in one individual, even a democratically elected one.
