Majorities are of two gezegde

Majorities are of two sorts: (1) communal majority and (2) political majority. A political majority is changeable in its class composition. A political majority grows. A communal majority is born. The admission to a political majority is open. The door to a communal majority is closed. The politics of political majority are free to all to make and unmake. The politics of communal majority are made by its own members born in it.

B. R. Ambedkar

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600)

Sanning

Next to inflation, majority rule is the most ingenious scheme ever contrived by government. Most people have never dared to question the basic morality or logic in the assumption that the majority should have power over the minority. A majority of the people in the South once believed in black slavery. Did that make it moral? A lynch mob is majority rule stripped of its fancy trappings and its facade of respectability. In a community where homosexuals outnumber heterosexuals, should the majority have the right to outlaw sex between married partners of the opposite sex? In a community where atheists outnumber non- atheists, should the majority have the right to outlaw the practice of religion? ... a dictatorship allows only a small number of people to interfere with the rights of others, a democracy makes it possible for great numbers of people to impose their will on others -- through the force of government. Is an act of aggression more right if carried out by the majority than by a dictator? Since approxima

Nästa till inflation är majoritetsstyre den mest geniala planen som någonsin har uttänkts av en regering. De flesta människor har aldrig vågat ifrågasätta den grundläggande moralen eller logiken i antagandet att majoriteten bör ha makt över minoriteten. En majoritet av människorna i södern trodde en gång på svart slaveri. Gjorde det det till någonting rätt? En lynchmobb är majoritetsstyre utan dess fina kläder och fasad av respektabilitet. I ett samhälle där homosexuella är fler än heterosexuella, borde majoriteten ha rätt att förbjuda sex mellan gifta partners av olika kön? I ett samhälle där ateister är fler än icke-ateister, borde majoriteten ha rätt att förbjuda religionsutövning? ... en diktatur tillåter endast ett litet antal människor att ingripa i andras rättigheter, medan en demokrati gör det möjligt för stora grupper av människor att tvinga på andra sin vilja - genom regeringens makt. Är en aggressiv handling mer rätt om den utförs av majoriteten än av en diktator? Eftersom approxim

In politics, an organized minority is a political majority.

Jesse Jackson (1941-)

A Senate chairman cannot be dictatorial, ultimately, when a majority of the committee, a majority of the Senate, a majority of the American people, want action,

Richard Lugar

We cannot continue doing politics that only speak to politicians ... we must open up to the people ... we are seeking a mandate from them for a political alternative and build a new majority.

Julio Borges

[Since then Mr. Hastert and his fellow GOP leaders have skillfully used their narrow majority to win an amazing number of close votes without having to negotiate much with Democrats. But gradually the fear of losing their majority has also begun leading them to behave more and more like the big-spending Democrats they unseated.] Holding the majority used to be viewed as a means to an end--the end being promoting freedom and limited government, ... Now, holding the majority seems to be an end in itself--holding onto power for the sake of holding onto power.

Jeff Flake

We are the majority -- have been the majority for the last four years, thanks to my friend Newt Gingrich ... But the problem is we are losing momentum. And what we don't want to do is be a minority party in two years and my speaker's race was integral to our keeping the majority party.

Bob Livingston

Certainly the message was directed at African-Americans both inside and outside New Orleans. It's a political message that he intends to be the mayor of a majority black city. But the statement that God intended New Orleans to be majority black certainly could be interpreted as inflammatory by non-black voters.

Susan Howell

First a majority of House Republicans voted against our military's effort to stop genocide in Kosovo, now that same majority uses funding for the operation as an excuse for $6 billion in non-Kosovo military spending and the majority whip calls us chicken hawks,

Thomas Allen

I think if you took a secret ballot in the Senate and House, you'd get a majority of Republicans joining on to those [libertarian] concerns. But the majority of Republicans in both houses see themselves more as field soldiers in the president's army than as independent actors in an independent branch of government. ... [That group is] very reluctant to challenge their president and to do so in a way that gives Democrats a political issue.

Norman Ornstein

A dissenting minority feels free only when it can impose its will on the majority: what it abominates most is the dissent of the majority.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)

... Judge, she (Ginsburg) specifically, in response to a question whether or not she agreed with the majority or minority opinion in Moore v. the City of Cleveland said explicitly: I agree with the majority, and here's what the majority said and I agree with it. My question to you is: Do you agree with it or not?

Joe Biden

There is a majority of member states who don't want it as they really didn't ask for it. The majority of the European Parliament also has problems with it so it's an open issue.
