Detailed Solution

Majoritarianism is a belief that the majority community in a country should rule over a country.
Majoritarianism supports the view that the majority can rule a country without considering the opinions and rights of minorities. Majoritarianism negates the entire idea of democracy. An example of this is the Sinhala community which was the majority in Sri Lanka and exerted pressure on the government. It had supremacy over the government of Sri Lanka - the government considered only the opinions of the Sinhala community, which led to discrimination against the Tamils.
