What is the most democratic* way to resolve some disputes? I have always thought public voting should be the best method to resolve disputes, but now I have come to think that it won't work when the dispute concerns directly the general public.
Lets take one example to make this clear.
Suppose they want to increase the Road Tax for Car Owners. But also say that they are trying to make road taxes very high for luxurious car Owners such that taxes for normal car owners could be reduced. Let's assume that normal car owners are in great majority than luxurious car owners.
If there is dispute in this thing, then I don't think voting can provide fair result, because the majority of people will have advantage on it.
Basically, the question boils down to -"Since Voting can result in majority group doing injustice to minority group", what's the good method to resolve political disputes?
I feel like we need some trusted expert groups to resolve disputes like this, but that's hard to find.
Sometimes constitution prevents injustice to people, but that's not always the case.
