Democracy or Demo(ns) - crazy ?

Question

Democracy seems anything but interesting.Its a strange concept where 51 % of people dictates wants what 49 % should do.And if you go by facts only 60 % of people actually venture out to vote and for a party to come to vote they need approx 45 % of votes .So how can they claim to represend the people when they have won the confidence of just 25 % of people ,neglecting the views of 75 % of people who refused to vote for them

Answer 1

First off we are not a democracy, we are a Republic. There is a huge difference between the two. As far as the 51% telling the other 49% how to live . It's never been possible because there is always a Representative that was elected by the minority . That's one way the 49% have their say.
If you had read the Federalist Papers written by Hamilton and Madison . Madison has written indigently on that subject because that was a huge reason the Constitution was hard to ratify. Plus the minority also have a document it's called The Bill of Rights. These first ten amendments were added not only to get the document ratified but also so the minority will always be protected. Minority have one other thing they need to exercise that is the VOTE.
