Majority rule can be conceived of in two ways. One is that there <br>

some identified group of people who vote together who are <br>

majority." This is clearly an abuse. <br>
<br>
Adding in a secession rule could act as a safety valve. If the <br>
value of participating is less than the costs, then maybe people <br>
should go their separate ways.<br>
<br>
Giving the majority the right of decision, in theory can <br>
prevent the minority from making that decision.<br>
<br>
Obviously, the problem occurs when people aren't <br>
geographically spread out. <br>
<br>
Questions of compensation become even more difficult <br>
when property rights are not well defined. Do absentee <br>
landlords really own their land? "After the revolution", <br>
they tend not to.<br>
