In a democracy must the interests of the few be elevated above the interests of the many?
Generally no. Democracy is primarily the view that the interests of the many outweigh the interests of the few. People jointly vote and the option that receives the majority of the votes becomes the dominant law. However, one of the important aspects of liberal democracy is that there are some rights and responsibilities that are beyond the simple vote of the population and the minorities need to be protected from the majorities. These countermajoritarian requirements are those few times that the interests of the few must be elevated above the interests of the many.
