Majority rule is a principle in democratic systems where decisions are made based on the preferences of the majority of voters. In contrast, the Bill of Rights, such as the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, protects individual liberties and minority rights against potential tyranny of the majority. This balance ensures that while the majority can make decisions, fundamental rights are safeguarded for all individuals, regardless of popular opinion. Together, they create a framework that promotes both democratic participation and the protection of individual freedoms.
