that is certainly an interesting quote, from Emily Dickinson, I always liked her one poem about the frog: I'm nobody who are you?
Maybe she was saying that if everyone prevails then they are the magority.

im not a hundred percent sure that line could be interpretated a few different ways a couple of the surrounding lines of the poem might give a better impression of what it is meant to mean :)

I believe she is referring to the problem with majority rule, that being that just because you have a majority doesn't make it right, if the majority of Germans think they should restart the holocaust does that mean its right???

i would like to share my own interpretation to this qoute; the majority of the rule of laws, applies to everybody and no exception to the rule of law unless it is proven wise. the implementation of rule (majority) has to prevail (to all) no matter what status or degree of individual person. hope this simple explanation will add to your list of enlightenment.

I guess it means that if the majority of the people are for something, chances are it will be the right course of action....and all the people will benefit.
I hope this helps you.
