a..... -> because of and because it are not parallel
b. a majority is allowed to rule not because it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger -> perfect
c. the reason for majority rule is not because they are more likely to be right, they are stronger ->
d. the majority is allowed to rule because of its strength, not because it is more likely to be right
e. the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right -> NOT PARALLEL best explaination I was confused between B & D now its clear
