But the majority's powers are limited by the dissenter's individual rights. The Rights should be a function of government, as was attempted in the Bill of Rights. If the 49% feels the majority has become intolerably tyrranical, they can always rebel and protect their own rights, which is what they join a government for anyway. If they lose, then the 51% have chosen Tyrranny, and deserve what they get.
