Why does Thoreau Believe that the government based on majority rule cannot be based on justice

Because the majority makes decisions based on their interest, not on justice, and they can impose their decisions over the minority, even when is the minority who wants to make the more just choice.

Explanation:

In “Civil Disobedience” (1849), Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817–May 6, 1862) criticizes the majority rule as the foundation of representative democracy because the majority doesn't necessarily represent justice. The majority is only the strongest group, and will not always be the right group. This is not fair to the minority, whose opinions can be disregarded even if they are in the moral right.
