I don't see how the tyranny by a large minority is better than the tyranny by a majority. In either case you can find yourself in disagreement with the government. That's the very nature of government- enforcing policy, hopefully for the common good. How is the republic protecting people against that?

They could, you know, actually work out their differences and legislate, instead of acting to the CPAN camera and following whatever their party says.

I agree that they should, but that doesn't actually address my point.
