Federalism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) (5156 words) |
 | Federal arrangements also shelter territorially based groups with preferences that diverge from the majority population, such as ethnic or cultural minorities, so that they are not subject to majority decisions severely or systematically contrary to their preferences. |
