Thus, through the study of democratic theories and accepting a minimalist position regarding the understanding of the concept of democracy, we concluded that fundamental rights are a limit to majoritarian democratic decisions and there are legal institutions that should be protected to safeguard minorities from a possible majorities’ tyranny. |
