majority rule

Read a random definition: registered voter

A quick definition of majority rule:

Majority rule is when a group of people make decisions based on what most of them want. This means that if more people want one thing than another, then that thing will be chosen. It's like when you and your friends vote on what game to play, and the game with the most votes is the one you play. This is an important principle in how we make decisions in groups, like in government or in companies.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Majority rule is the principle that a group's decision is determined by the preference of the majority of its members. This means that the option favored by the greater number of people is chosen.

For example, if a group of ten people is voting on a decision, and six people vote in favor of one option while four people vote for another, the option preferred by the majority (six people) will be selected.

Another example of majority rule is in the election of legislators. The constitutional principle states that the majority of people in a state elect a majority of that state's legislators. This means that the candidate who receives the most votes from the people in a state is elected as the legislator.

Majority rule is a fundamental principle in democratic societies, where decisions are made based on the will of the majority. It ensures that the interests of the majority are represented and that decisions are made in the best interest of the group as a whole.
