Yes everybody who voted in US elections back in the 1700s was an educated man with a college degree? None of them were simple farmers who couldn’t even read or religious individuals who came to the US for religious freedom. Nope. They were all Harvard graduates. History has effectively proven that a small elite educated or wealthy will abuse their powers and not support democratic values. That is the essence of the french revolution and the reason why democracy requires an equal vote per man or woman.

Democracy does not mean that a limited small elite decides for the rest of the people. That my dear friend is an oligarchy.

Instead of screaming like an animal, try to wrap your mind around this
My point is simple. Just because the majority holds a certain opinion, does NOT mean that that opinion is correct.

If the validity of an argument is based solely on the number of people who believe that argument to be true, then by that same logic, since most of the world is non Muslim, then would you say that Islam is somehow invalidated since the majority of the world is non Muslim?

And whther you like it or not, if your populas is misinformed or completely uninformed, you can not rely on them to make informed decisions. They can certainly make decisions, they just cant make the right ones.
That is again, why education is so important in a modern democracy. You cant make a just society when the majority of your citizens are dafur.
