what are the two limitations of democratic government
Answers
First, all true democracies limit majority rule in order to protect the rights of minorities. A a majority of one race or religion or political opinion is not allowed to suppress the rights of other groups. This limits the majority's right to rule.
Second, in modern democracies, the people are not able to make their opinions felt directly on most issues. Here in the US, for example, there is no national vote that will allow us to explicitly tell Congress what we want it to do about Social Security and Medicare. We have to vote for one party or the other, but our vote might be based on any number of issues. A vote for the Democrats is not a clear vote for any particular position on the issue of Social Security. That means its hard for the will of the majority to be known on any given issue.
These are two limitations on the democracy as a form of majority rule.
