Evidence

Majoritarianism inevitably impacts the rule of law, because a state that blatantly discriminates against its minorities prevents the rule of law from operating impartially. Tamils began experiencing this especially under Mrs. Bandaranaike’s governments, but the situation was exacerbated when civil war erupted. — Nadim N. Rouhana and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, When Politics Are Sacralized, 1382
