Absolutely, provided that's what the people want.
So if a madman convinces enough people that he is their national savior, you would shuffle into the gas chamber with a smile on your face?

Please explain. If the "will of the people," defined as "what the majority of voters want," is paramount, there can be no protection for minority views... or people who are members of minority groups.

I'm not sure you clarified anything. I have explained why the "will of the people" is always suspect; indeed it is an ill defined abstract concept that morphs seamlessly into "reasons of State. Clearly, you are hinting at something specific but refuse to express yourself clearly. That is no way either to persuade or educate.
