The United States is a grand experiment in freedom. We do not have a democracy. We have a Constitutional Republic. True democracy results in exactly what you described: a slide into tyranny (of the majority). A Constitutional Republic, on the other hand -- if we were to actually follow the Constitution of the United States -- actually protects the rights of its citizens, and it protects them from encroachment by the majority-controlled government.
