Walter Williams: Majority rule equals tyranny...thus The Electoral College..

jewishworldreview.com

" The Constitution's Framers feared tyranny of the majority. That's why there's an Electoral College -- ,
even though California's population is 69 times that of Wyoming's, both states have two senators.

Despite public consensus, there's nothing inherently just or fair about majority rule. In fact, one of the primary dangers of majority rule is that it confers an aura of legitimacy and respectability on acts that would otherwise be deemed tyrannical.
