Detailed Solution

A majoritarian form of government allows the government to ignore the interests of smaller groups of people. Their main focus is always on the majority and giving them first preference. It believes that the majority rule over the minority with no participation or input from the minority and that the majority may rule in whatever ways it wants without recourse to a court of law. A great and relevant example of majoritarianism is the country of Sri Lanka, where majoritarian rule resulted in a 20-year civil war with significant loss of life and property because the majority Sinhalese wanted to rule over the minority Tamils.
