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

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

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.”
