62. The principal of democracy is that the majority rules but
that the rights and freedoms of individuals and minority groups are maintained, and can't be taken away even if the majority wants it that way.

Unfortunately, that doesn't always seem to be the practice IMO - in regard to same-sex marriage most notably.
