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

Meanwhile, when the Democratic Party formed in 1828, it was with a Tory outlook keen on robbing others of their rights:

—Benjamin Franklin

—John Adams

Why do some people never get to on a date even though they wanted to? Are they just too ugly and weird for everybody?

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.

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.

—Alexis de Tocqueville

What are some sad truths about life?

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

—Thomas Jefferson

Why are people so terrified or bothered that a person has original creative ideas, hobbies or unique interests?

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 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.

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

What are the most extreme examples of hypocrisy?

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

Why? Try these on for size:

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

If everyone in Russia dropped into holes in the ground only never to return, would that be good for NATO and international peacekeepers? Can we convince Russians to be less diabolical, so they coexist? Does Putin stink like doo doo in the commode?

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.
