► The foundational concept of individual rights as a safeguard against majoritarianism.
► Historical examples where majority rule has led to the suppression of minority groups.

► How liberal democracies strive to balance collective decisions with individual freedoms.
► Potential mechanisms and policies to prevent tyranny of the majority.
