Tyranny Of The Majority Analysis

I agree with both Steven and Dan. The meaning of tyranny of the majority can be broken down. Tyranny means cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control. I feel that tyranny of the majority is an oppression by the majority to the minority. I think if you are part of the majority that your mind conforms to what everyone else in the majority thinks. A good example that was discussed in lecture would be the American Indians. American Indians were the majority in this country until europeans started to migrate over. When they become the minority their opinions for the sake of the country no longer mattered. The indians were sent off to reservations while the european man (the majority) had control of the land and country.
