"...Not majority rule but just rule;" a lost concept in modern day democracy

"...not majority rule but just rule: All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression." 
- Thomas Jefferson
