vast majority doesn't mean ever.
i am not an anarchist, but government role has to be very limited at the "if we don't act here people kill each other's in the streets" or comparable level of threat. if a society exists which is decent without regulation x, regulation x should be unconstitutional.
you should never even think of limiting any freedom of citizens if you aren't willing to bet your actual life on the absolute indispensability of doing it (like if you are wrong, you get killed because of it).
and the threshold to pass any freedom limitation should be absurdly high, akin to what is now needed for a constitutional amendment.
yes the above means that for any increase in taxes, any new line of regulation about anything, you would need a vast majority of the population in favour
