Why is the word "democracy" not in the preamble of the US Constitution?

[with republicanism being the rights-protecting form of governance afforded us by our Constitution]

Another tendency, which is extremely natural to democratic nations and extremely dangerous, is that which leads them to despise and undervalue the rights of private persons.

To Indians: “Pack up what belongings you can carry and start walking to Oklahoma. Your fertile lands are ours now. We voted fair and square and your side lost.”

I took a video of my serve (60 FPS) and it took 0.4 seconds from my racket to the service line. How fast would you say my serve was?

To blacks: “You can’t drink from that water fountain… eat in this cafeteria… ride this bus… go to this school. We voted fair and square and your side lost.

Majority-rules democracy is the way that majorities run roughshod over minorities, destroying rights and all ideas of equality under the law. No fair-minded person wants anything to do with democracy.

—Thomas Jefferson

—Alexis de Tocqueville

To slaves: “You can forget your notions of freedom. We voted fair and square and your side lost.”

When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
