The author in her essay briefly visits the history of thinking about democracy. However, the focus ofher contemplations is on describing the limits of contemporary democracy. One of the perils threatening thedemocratic parliamentary system is the “tyranny of the majority” in parliaments, which means that the opinionsand proposals of political minorities are being overlooked.It was Alexis de Tocqueville who defined the term “tyranny of the majority” and the author of this work tookthis term and its definition as the cornerstone of this article and applied it to the current democratic model.She also indicated what means could be used to weaken the tyranny of the majority (as well as the tyrannyof the minority) and strengthen democracy.
