The First Amendment, backed up by the Supreme Court, the folks who decided these cases, as the Constitution established them to do.

Indeed, the democratic process shows favoritism to the majority, but that's why certain rights are exempt from democracy.

The Constitution protects the minority from the majority. That is the whole purpose of the Bill of Rights.

If the majority votes that owning people as slaves is legal, does that make it any more right to do so?
