Majority rule
Dictatorship or minority rule
The first section of the Declaration of Independence defines democracy.
Majority rule refers to the facet of democracy that allows what the most people want to occur. This is the basis for our voting system in the US. However, if the wants of the majority infringe upon the rights of people in the minority, the majority may have to make concessions.
The opposite of majority rule is minority rule. This means that the population or selection that is least represented will decide the outcome.
What is an example of majority rule and minority rights?
Majority rule means a numerical majority of the voting populace holds the power to make decisions binding on everyone. Minority rights are rights guaranteed to minorities that cannot be removed or modified, even by a vote of the majority.

There is no such thing given the context of the question. There are either rights, shared by minority and majority alike; or there is no rights but what the majority would grant to the minority - therefore they (the majority) have no responsibilities to the minority at all.
