What is meant by 'majority rule'?

• A. More than half of those in attendance approve.
• B. The president decides all decisions.
• C. The Supreme Court approves all votes.
• D. The majority vote is only advisory.

Answer: (A)

Majority rule means a decision is made by whatever option receives more than half of the votes. When voters choose, the choice with the majority wins and becomes the decision. This reflects the idea that the larger group’s will guides outcomes, while a minority isn’t ignored but doesn’t determine the result. In this case, more than half of those present approving a proposal makes it the decision. The other ideas place control in a single person, a court, or make the vote only advisory, which isn’t what majority rule describes.
