while james madison referred to the same idea as "the violence of majority faction" in the federalist papers, for example in federalist 10, the phrase "tyranny of the majority" was used by john adams in 1788. it was also used by edmund burke in a 1790 letter, in which he wrote that "the tyranny of a multitude is a multiplied tyranny." it was further popularised by john stuart mill in "on liberty" (1859). "the federalist papers" and the phrase (in translation) is used at least once in the first sequel to "human, all too human" (1879). ayn rand wrote that individual rights are not subject to a public vote, and that the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities and "the smallest minority on earth is the individual".in herbert marcuse's 1965 essay ""repressive tolerance"", he said "tolerance is extended to policies, conditions, and modes of behavior which should not be tolerated because they are impeding, if not destroying, the chances of creating an existence without fear and misery" and that "this sort of tolerance strengthens the tyranny of the majority against which authentic liberals protested". in 1994, legal scholar lani guinier used the phrase as the title for a collection of law review articles.
