if majority rules were the only way to look at social issues, then you'd probably still see some southern US states with racial segregation. sometimes you need to force change, like getting the National Guard to let the first black students enroll in white colleges
letting a body like the Supreme Court handle these issues is more favorable, since you're more likely to get an impartial, fully educated decision
