This also reveals a fundamental bug in naive democracy (i.e. we should do everything that the majority wants). It creates an implicit tyranny against the minority by the majority. Of course the same person can be in a majority group in one category but minority in the other.
U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and other similar fundamental laws were conceived as essentially a way to fix this problem; to keep the minority safe from the majority. You wouldn't be able to solve slavery with democracy. The majority would vote to maintain it.
