The major powers were granted a veto in the United Nations Security Council as a way to ensure that the interests and perspectives of these countries are adequately represented and considered in decision-making processes. The veto power gives these countries the ability to block any resolution or decision that they believe goes against their national interests or principles. It is seen as a tool to prevent any single country or group of countries from dominating the decision-making process and to promote consensus and collaboration among the major powers. Additionally, the veto power is meant to prevent hasty or unfair decisions that could potentially destabilize the international community.
