The reason why the majority of people can have their voices heard today is because of decisions to instill and uphold basic voting rights for women and non-whites. These were people who previously didn't have a "voice." If they only ever listened to the majority of those who did have a voice at that time, women and non-whites today would possibly have no role in any of this.
There are sometimes moral/civil/social problems when you only listen to the majority of those with a voice.
