What is an agreement about basic beliefs?
consensus
What is the word that means a general agreement among various groups?
consensus
Are courts more likely to block an enlightened consensus with their adherence to outdated principles or to protect the politically weak from oppressive majorities?
Enlightenment does not happen by consensus and principles do not become "outdated" otherwise they would not be principles and a basic principle of the Courts is to protect the politically weak from oppressive majorities. The courts may or may not block a progressive idea that some consensus views as enlightened or they may not. All most all court rulings are based on the very narrow facts of the case. Thus, if a court upholds a progressive idea that some consensus views as enlightened they did so, most likely, because of the facts of the case.
