- CWuestefeld 15y agoSo working backwards you can see that the system failed to protect the rights of minorities. I think you mean that it failed to protect the rights of some minorities. But even at that, the system provided a framework through which those deficiencies could be address, while at the same time minimizing "leakage": as much as I complain, it appears that we've gained a lot more in human/civil rights than we've lost over that time.
