Answer:

The rule of the majority with protection for the minority's rights is essential for preserving the liberties of all.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson defended that the minorities should not rule for itself because this could destroy the existence of a nation, because it gives legitimacy to fractions instead of reducing their effect. There are other means of compromise that would bend measures to accommodate the rightful interests of a minority. This means that fairness will only be achieved if the will of the majority is not transgressed at the same time that the equal rights of the minority are not violated.
