Well, there are three things going on. The simple majority of a democracy, The necessary check and balance of a Republic, and the attempt to alter reality with a vote. ...An island requires a landmass and a body of water. We could vote that an island is a landmass surrounded by a landmass, no water required. It still wouldn't turn the landmass into an island..
Our constitution was designed, not for majority rule, but to protect individual rights against the "tyranny of the majority", as our founding fathers put it.
