A: (i) Democratic government is often considered the best form of government in modern society. This type of government allows the people to govern. Allowing the people to govern can be considered a good, but also a bad idea. There are some major flaws or problems when dealing with democratic government. Some of these problems are the tyranny of the majority, the corruption of leaders, and finally, the violation of property rights. However, among them, the most important flaw of democracy is mafia rule. Mob rule or ochlocracy establishes government rule through mass of people or through intimidation. Essentially the government is ruled by the majority. This means that if 51% of citizens vote in favor of a decision, the remaining 49% will not be heard. The tyranny of the majority has a huge impact on mob rule. The tyranny of the majority provides that through legislation the majority can treat the minority differently. Two great examples of this act would be slavery in America during the 1700s and 1800s, as well as school segregation before the 1960s. For example, 51% can disenfranchise 49% of a state's citizens. This means that not everyone is the same and not everyone can hear their own voice. Mafia rule presents the idea that either you vote with the masses or you vote against the masses. It can be argued that mob rule and majority tyranny are both closely related and are very active in current democracies. For example, laws banning gay marriage could be considered a tyranny of the majority. So it is clear that this notion has not disappeared from politics. A: (ii) The idea of ​​mob rule or majority tyranny can be contained by democratic government. Mechanisms or laws need to be established in order to pre...... half paper ......ty of one's contributions to it. Overall there are some flaws in Mill's idea of ​​self-regarding actions. Part C: (I) Mill's argument against democratic government and the things it poses to liberty. Democracies have flaws regarding the possible tyranny of the majority. According to Locke, majority rule allows people to come together under a general consensus, which means that everyone follows their own idea, but will agree with a decision. It is clear that not everyone has the same opinions and not everyone will have the same interest. So sometimes people have to vote for something they don't necessarily want. When it comes to voting processes, the tyranny of the majority is at its greatest. Like if you can control the majority, i.e. get them to vote for the candidates you want, then you can control everyone since those candidates can pass laws that benefit you..
