The first vote in establishin

The first vote in establishing a just society, in my view, is for all to agree that contracts, voluntarily agreed to, must be enforced.

But if you can in fact see how enforcement of voluntarily agreed upon contracts benefits trade and can better humanity from a moral perspective, and if you can see that 100% of a particular group of people could vote for that; then we can proceed in seeing how a just society, utilizing democracy, could form. And I will be able to explain to you how agreeeing to voting, even if one sometimes is in the minority can, from a certain perspective, reflect the unanimous will of all.

I agree about the 100% case. That's easy. So go on :)
