Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of individual rights in a democratic society. It suggests that while majority rule is a fundamental aspect of making decisions, it should not come at the expense of the rights of minorities or individuals. The metaphorical example of five wolves and one sheep voting for supper illustrates the danger of ignoring the interests and well-being of the minority in favor of the majority's desires. It underscores the need to respect and protect the rights and voices of each individual to promote fairness and justice within a democratic system.
