Then what you want is a republic or some system of anarchy, not a democracy.



The US is a republic.


I know that. It was a general point. In a pure democracy, 51% has complet power.

Also while the US is a formal republic, it does often emulate a democracy. Based on common belives the constitution is reinterpreted, or simply ignored. This has been well documented by legal scholars such as Richard Epstein.


>some system of anarchy

I don't think you quite understand the point of anarchy.


I dont think you have looked at history. Anarchy simply means no state, not no system of governance. You can still have laws and organisation.

We have historical examples of milions of people living this way.
