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]

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

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.

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

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.”

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.
