Answer:

He named "absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority the vital principle of republics, from which there is no appeal but to force." The principle demanded freedom of opinion and debate, including the right of any minority to turn itself into a new majority.

You can't force people into doing what you want and that turning a minority into a new minority because it is not that easy to became a new minority in just one day
