The decision-making of democratic politics is the initial sector of national administration, which follows the principles of majority and minority, dominion and governing, liberty and equality, opening and competition, cooperation and negotiation, legality and formality, etc. However, the principle that the minority is subordinate to the majority, as an old principle of decision-making habitually used by different types of countries, has an irrefragable validity. This shows that the principle is inevitable, rational, and irreplaceable. With the development of democratic politics, people have come to realize the limitation of majority-principle in practice.The essence of socialist democracy is that the people become the masters of their country. It is a social form of equal relationship among the mass people, and is a dialectical unification between the democratic content and the forms to realize it. Presently, in constructing our democratic democracy, we should put the minority's right as an assumption into the constitutional-centered system construction, enhance and reasonably collocate political resources, build up an open decision-making system, create a political atmosphere of concession, tolerance, and cooperation, form a democratic decision-making model of negotiation, and set up an insurance system of democratic decision-making to protect the majority-principle focusing on the democratic rights of the whole people.
