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

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.”

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

—Alexis de Tocqueville

What seemingly minor decision or moment in your past ended up having a massive impact on your entire life trajectory?

—Thomas Jefferson

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

—John Adams

Sometime ago, the Iranian Minister said that a US Navy aircraft carrier would be an easy target for 300 speed boats armed with Katyusha rocket launchers. Is this true?

—Benjamin Franklin

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.

Why? Try these on for size:

Im happy but there is a heavy feeling of sadness in my heart that I just can't remove. Why am I like this?

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

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

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.

What is the best way to get revenge on people who hurt you?

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