The way I have always seen it, is that the government is elected by the majority. So what if when the majority gets in power, it says "kill the minority, so we can stay in power." By your logic that would be okay, because they are the Gov. Fuck that, the Constitution is there to give us a structure of things that are acceptable and unacceptable for the Gov.
With power comes greed and corruption. This isn't a new idea. That's why we have checks and balances, because from the American experience, we realize people in the majority will always try to fuck over people in the minority. Just like how we Americans have the majority of power in the world, we fuck over people with the minority of power in the world. Just like how the countries with the majority of oil in the world, are fucking over the people with the minority of oil in the world.
That's why the constitution is there, to balance things between the majority of power in the country, Government, and minority of power in the country, the People.
