Political groups that typically protect the rights of the majority are often referred to as populist movements or parties. These groups advocate for the interests and needs of the general population, emphasizing popular sovereignty and democratic participation. Examples can include leftist parties that focus on social equity or right-wing populist movements that prioritize national interests. Ultimately, the effectiveness of such groups in genuinely protecting majority rights can vary based on their policies and practices.

In Federalist Paper #10, James Madison argued that minority rights can be protected under a system of majority rule. Minority groups would be protected because the factions (political parties) would have to negotiate their differences. In this way, the republic would create a system of government in which the majority would rule but the ideas of the minority would have to be taken into consideration. Numerous factions would also mean that no one group would be able to take complete control of the government and this would give rise to what Madison called “politics,” namely, the art of governing.
