Description
Content description from Worldcat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/tyranny-of-the-majority/oclc/1019976280):
"Government of the people by the people" means majority rule but democratic majorities do not always promote social justice for all. The French nobleman Alexis de Tocqueville once wrote that "the tyranny of the majority" or the democratic force of conformity posed the greatest threat to individual liberties. This program examines majority-minority conflicts in three Western democratic societies: the American blacks' civil rights movement, the Australian aborigines' campaign for full land rights and the Catholic minority struggle in Northern Ireland.
