The government structure that faces the disadvantage known as the "tyranny of the majority" is Federal. In a federal system, power is divided between a central authority and various subnational entities (like states or provinces). Because different states can have varying public opinions and policies, the majority opinion in certain states can sometimes lead to the enactment of laws that may not reflect the wishes of the minority or that are seen as strange or unpopular. This principle highlights the potential for majority rule to overlook or suppress minority rights and perspectives.
