The point being made is that just because most of the people want something, it does not automatically imply a moral correctness. Morality is not a matter to be determined by the greater or lesser number of people. In fact, its not even something to be determined by the government at all. The government and laws are present to ensure a relative amount of order.

Veritas en Lux!
