>protects the individual from the majority

You really think the individual is protected from the majority? In a limited manner in the courts and in the constitution... Any democracy with a court system and a constitution limiting the power of the govt. has this. Beyond that, if the Repugs have a majority in the 2 houses plus a GOP president adn a judiciary loaded with like minded conservatives, then no individual is protected from their social conservative agenda (i.e. limiting freedom of choice).
