At this point I don't know if you're trolling or being wilfully dull.

Yes, what you're describing is democracy. Yes, the premise of the system is that the majority vote decides on the rules/policy. Yes it would be bad if that were subverted.

But, for like the billionth time now:

- this is not what just happened with the NYC vote, and - it has absolutely nothing to do with the American Revolution.

If you're still somehow confused, I suggest reading up on these topics - Wikipedia [0][1] provides a wonderful start.
