Answer:

Because it prevents episodes of tyranny.

Explanation:

A government based on the preference of the majority, prevents acts of tyranny from happening, because it does not allow a single person to receive all the governmental power and leadership of a nation. Thus, as power is in the hands of the majority of the population, an act of tyranny or abuse of power would be more difficult to happen, as there would be many people overseeing and fighting any attempt.
