    Right here is the flaw in your assumption. The majority has no intrinsic right simply because they are the majority. In fact, our entire nation's system of government is based around making certain that that is not necessarily a determining factor in any decision.

    This is a model of thinking you should really reconsider.

    Actually the Majority have the intrinsic right because they are the majority - e.g. more numbers, more bodies to throw in a fight, etc. The reason our government counters this is because it has an intrinsic advantage. If it does not then we wouldn't need to counter anything.

    We go out of our way to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority for that simple reason. It is very easy to "throw your weight around" when you are bigger.
