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

—Thomas Jefferson

Why? Try these on for size:

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.

How do you explain BYD selling more battery electric vehicles than Tesla in Europe for the first time in April?

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.”

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

—Benjamin Franklin

Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?

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.

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

—John Adams

To slaves: “You can forget your notions of freedom. 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.
