Conclusion: Protection from the tyranny of the majority is vitaly as important as
protection from tyranny of political despotism.
EP1: Power granted to select groups in a society usually lead to abuse of the weaker member of the community (217)
IP1: These conflicts arose because of self-interest
EP2: Recognition of certain limits (ie liberties) were created in order to prevent such events in times of political despotism (218)
EP3: Self-governments, or governments where the "people" exercise power, are not always representative of the whole community (219)
EP4: Only the majority or the most active members of society are granted with power, leaving the minority powerless yet again (219)
IP2: The most popular opinion is what becomes law
IP3: This law is forced upon everyone, even those who don't believe in it- the minority
EP5: Society as popular opinion as a whole can enact its own laws, whether it is right or wrong, which can penetrate more into society than a powerful despotism (220)
EP6: Popular opinion is purely based on opinion which is not supported by reasons but rather by personal preference (221)
IP4: If protection of liberties are granted when select groups rule, a similar instance must be done when popular opinion rules
Conclusion: Thus, Protection from the tyranny of the majority is vitally as important as
protection from tyranny of political despotism.
