explain how and under what circumstances disadvantaged minority groups can prevail in American politics.

Paper #2 Assignment
The framers created a system that protected empowered political minorities from majority
tyranny—in order to prevent the majority from limiting the rights of the minority. This is
accomplished by creating institutions that share power in order to make it difficult to change
policy. This outlook assumes that the minorities that need protection are those that have power
or resources. Minorities today, however, are often disadvantaged and lack these resources, which
makes it difficult for them to achieve their policy goals-especially those that enhance the equality
of group members. Building on this idea, Tyranny of the Minority offers an explanation for how,
and under what circumstances, members of minority groups can obtain their policy goals. Please
write an approximately 5-6 page essay that answers the following question(s):
Can disadvantaged minority groups in the United States get the policy they want in the face of
both majority opposition and an institutional design that seeks to thwart change? Does Sub
Constituency Politics Theory provide a strategy for these disadvantaged minorities—those
lacking power and resources—to overcome the hurdles that the Constitution (i.e Madisonian
democracy) erects? If so, under what conditions? If not, why not? In answering be sure to
explain sub constituency politics theory and identify at least three specific institutional and/or
policy hurdles that make it difficult for disadvantaged minority groups to obtain their policy
goals. Use those as building blocks for explaining how and under what circumstances
disadvantaged minority groups can prevail in American politics.
