You're stuck with either tyranny of the majority or tyranny of the minority, pick one.

The tyranny of the majority is from a essay by mills referring to democracy, at least that is where it became popular.
It is when the majority makes oppressive decisions controlling the minority.
Wiki actually has a well written article on this,
On Liberty
The tyranny of the majority is a dangerous thing.
We already have laws that are based on that concept.
