Good Morning.

Of the authors quoted, what defends the idea that democracy can not become a "majority dictatorship," as described, is John Stuart Mill. The philosopher noted that with the evolution of the political system, most could move to a tyrannical government, oppressing the minority and reducing something that is the main focus of Mill's work, freedom.
