The extent to which the federal government serves majority and minority interests today is often debated. While policies and laws aim to protect minority rights and promote equity, systemic issues and political dynamics can lead to disparities in representation and resource allocation. Many minority groups feel that their interests are sometimes overshadowed by majority preferences, leading to ongoing discussions about inclusivity and fairness in governance. Overall, the effectiveness of government in serving all interests can vary significantly based on context and specific issues.
In particular, free government is designed to guard against the most insidious danger of government by the people-the tyranny of the majority over minorities. This principle applies equally to constitutional protection of religious, ethnic, racial, or other minority groups.

In a democratic government, the people participate equally instead of power being concentrated in a minority, such as in monarchy and oligarchy. Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, New Zealand, Australia and Switzerland are examples of countries with democratic governments.
Some of the advantages of a democratic government include: Everyone has a voice in decision making Everyone has the same rights and freedoms Everyone is treated equally in terms of voting Greater public support for actions. Public feels more enfranchised. Moral supremacy when dealing with other nations. Doesn't necessarily allow a minority to control a majority. If voting is universal, people are not focused on getting the right to vote as an issue.
The government officials need not be literated or scientifically advanced. This is because the main aim of the government is to ensure that all its citizen live equally and to look after the affairs of the country. Therefore the government should have knowledge about the interests of the people but it is not necessary for the government to be scientifically advanced. However the government is the one which sponsors the scientific organizations within the country.
Democracy does not mean that the majority rules, it more often means that the political group wit the most votes wins, which means that out of a choise of five candidates 21% pecent of the vote can secure contol.
