A majority opinion is the decision supported by the majority of judges on a court panel. A dissenting opinion is an opinion written by a judge or judges who disagree with the majority opinion. A concurring opinion is written by a judge who agrees with the majority opinion but for different reasons.

What was the importance of a dissenting opinion?

A dissenting opinion is written when a justice disagrees with the majority opinion (which carries the force of law). If a justice is writing a dissenting opinion, that means he or she voted with the minority group, and wants to explain the reason why he or she disagrees with the official Opinion of the Court. Dissenting opinions may be cited, but are not enforceable. A good example is if you have 3 people. One of them wants a blue car, the other 2 want a red one. The majority is the 2 people who want a red car. Whoever doesn't want a red car, is the dissenting. (Dissenting is whatever isn't the majority) Search Dissenting Opinion for more details.
