ABSTRACT
The trend of the former colonial powers and their citizens becoming a minority and the former subjects becoming a majority is underway. Its primary meaning is that all who are affected by a decision should have the chance to participate in making that decision, either directly or through chosen representatives. In political decision-making, the majority vote weighs heavily. The general principle of universal suffrage was enshrined in the constitution of revolutionary France in 1793 and has gradually been accepted by almost all nations after two centuries of twists and turns, making restrictions on the franchise in terms of wealth, gender, and race irrelevant and obsolete. The power of the oppressed majority is unleashed. According to Mao Tse-Tung, after the First World War, the Soviet Union emerged with a population of 200 million. The majority, however, should also listen to the voices of the minority before making critical decisions.
