| - A Concurrent Majority is a majority composed of majorities within various subgroups. As a system of government, it means that "major government policy decisions must be approved by the dominant interest groups directly affected ... each group involved must give its consent". There must be majority support within each affected group concurrently. As a political principle, it enables minorities to block the actions of majorities. In the United States, its most vocal proponents have tended to be minority groups. The concurrent majority was intended to prevent the tyranny of the majority that proponents feared might arise in an unlimited democracy by granting some form of veto power to each of the conflicting interests in society.

Antes de la , todos los gobiernos estaban controlados por minúsculas élites; grandes partes de la población no podían votar, incluso en países con una larga trayectoria de gobierno democrático como era el caso de Suiza. La concepción del gobierno que se plasmó durante la independencia de Estados Unidos trazó un camino hacia la ampliación de la base electoral. Sin embargo se presentó entonces el problema de la tiranía de la mayoría, que devino en la cuestión de cómo limitar el poder de esta. (es)
