The UK is trying this now since they abolished the House of Lords for all intents and purposes. It has become a majority rule and a simple majority at that. Look at all the dumb laws they have passed in the last few years. Banning guns, sharp knives, fox hunting, etc...
What you end up with is a majority that can vote themselves bread and circuses with no checks on their power.
Like it or not our system of LIMITED government and checks and balances has worked for this long because we have kept the majority from running amok
