Another answer is, that if the stronger party wish to use their power only for purposes of justice, they have no occasion to fear the veto of the weaker party; for the latter have as strong motives for the maintenance of just government, as have the former.
Spooner suggests that the stronger party should not fear the minority's veto if they act justly, promoting accountability.

It was a principle of the Common Law, as it is of the law of nature, and of common sense, that no man can be taxed without his personal consent.
A man has a natural right to enforce his own rights and redress his own wrongs.
From the sale of that justice which every citizen has a right to demand, it was an easy transition to withhold or deny it.
And the right is practically established only when and because the government, no longer exists to call it in question.
