"個人の権利は公の投票の対象ではありません多数派には少数派の権利を奪う権利はありません"
— Ayn Rand
Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that basic human rights should be protected and cannot be taken away just because most people want to. Everyone is entitled to things like freedom of speech, privacy, and equality, no matter what the majority says. For example, think of a school where most students want to ban a few kids from the playground because they look different. Even if most students vote for this ban, it's still wrong because it's hurting those few kids' right to play and be part of the group. The rules must protect everyone's basic rights, not just follow what most people want. In real life, think about laws and rules. If the majority of people in a country wanted to take away medical treatment from a smaller group, it shouldn’t happen. Fair laws and respect for individual rights keep everyone safe. So, it's important to make sure that these rights are protected for all people, even if they are in the minority.
