The purpose of the Constitution is to protect the minority from the whim of the majority. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. The Constitution is there to make sure it's not going to be the sheep.
The trouble comes when the wolves rewrite the Constitution, as the pigs in George Orwell's Animal Farm did.
About Me
- Shawn
- Herein, dear reader, you will primarily find reviews of this and that. My reviews fall into two extremes, which you may categorise as either glowing praise or seething fury -- there is no middle ground. But know, dear reader, that my opinions are heavily exaggerated in these reviews, for effect (and, I hope, for your amusement). Take what you see here with a grain of salt and in good humour, if you please!
