James Madison was for Majority Rule in Federalist Number 10. He was against factions that could work against public interest.
The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, was designed to protect individual liberties against unwelcome intrusions by the majority. It ensures fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, safeguarding minority viewpoints and personal freedoms from potential oppression by the majority. This framework establishes legal protections that uphold individual rights and promote a balance between majority rule and minority rights in a democratic society.
Countermajoritarianism and a respect for minority rights are required in a liberal democracy.

Citizens who rule themselves by majority vote typically belong to democratic systems, where decisions are made through elections and referendums. In direct democracies, such as those seen in ancient Athens or modern-day Switzerland, citizens participate directly in decision-making. In representative democracies, citizens elect representatives who then make decisions on their behalf, often guided by majority rule principles. Ultimately, the concept of majority rule is a foundational element of democratic governance.
Thoreau believed that majority rule could lead to injustice and lack of individual conscience. He argued that individuals should not blindly follow the majority if it goes against their own principles or moral beliefs. Thoreau valued the importance of individual autonomy and conscience above the will of the majority.
