>I don't get what the phrase means either - "with consent of the minority" ??? Well if you had their consent then I guess they wouldn't be the minority anymore right? They'd be part of the majority and thus the vote would be unanimous? I'm sure I must be missing something....

Our country is not a Democracy it is a Representative Republic. We are not goverened by majority rule. The majority governs with the consent of the minority.
