Take the rights away? That's not usually the result. People are quire good, and from practical point of view, there is not usually that uniform 51 % of people that they would agree to take the rights from the rest (rest who?).
But even your scenario is more democratic and better one, than 1 % of people deciding for the rest, based solely for their own benefit.
