Justice in Democracy
In a democracy, according to the laws of the state, good is what the people, at
a given time, consider it to be. However, in a democracy, it must be possible to
have opinions different from the majority, opinions that one day might become
the majority.
For example: abortion was once considered a terrible murder, while now it is
considered permissible (up to nine weeks, who knows why). However, it must be
possible to express the opinion that it is a terrible murder, an opinion that
could one day also become the majority view.
