Discuss the relationship of the bill of rights to the concept of democratic rule of the majority and give examples of tension between amajority and minority rights

As seen in the Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment, there are enforcements by the federal government in order to protect the rights of minority groups. There were also issues regarding Native Americans under the citizenship clause for they were not recognized as citizens because they did not pay taxes. Three politically charged civil liberties could be the establishment clause, equal protection clause, and the free exercise clause.

Explanation:

I could not find any amendment passed in 1991. I did find one that was passed in 1992. It is amendment 27. What it says is that pay raises for senators and representatives cannot take place until an election of the representatives has taken place.

Apparently there were a lot of requests for pay raises and the public began to object, and so this amendment was introduced.

It is not the first time the constitution has seen such a request. In 1789 James Maddison put much the same thought forward as an amendment. Obviously it was defeated.
