“In all cases where justice or the general good might require new laws to be passed, or active measures to be pursued, the fundamental principle of free government would be reversed. It would be no longer the majority that would rule: the power would be transferred to the minority. Were the defensive privilege limited to particular cases, an interested minority might take advantage of it to screen themselves from equitable sacrifices to the general weal, or, in particular emergencies, to extort unreasonable indulgences.”

I'm hearing a lot of whining about not being able to just steamroll over people and force whatever you want on them, :sob, sob: you have to actually convince people to agree with you and/or compromise with them! The horror!
