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

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

Why? Try these on for size:

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

Why do entitled people demand that I pick up after my doggo when he goes to the bathroom? Do they not know that doggy doo decomposes & feeds the plants?

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.

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

Is it appropriate for parents to discipline their child in public if the child is being rude, disrespectful, and unruly towards them? Why or why not?

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.”

—Alexis de Tocqueville

Why am I more attracted to black men?

—Thomas Jefferson

I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either.

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.

What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?

—Benjamin Franklin

In other words, our Founding Fathers and other Whig intellects of that time well understood that democratic methods are the surefire means to do serious damage to the rights guaranteed under republican self-government.

—John Adams

The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.
