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

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

Why? Try these on for size:

—Alexis de Tocqueville

Why do humans sweat while stressed?

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

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.

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.

Why does it smell so bad? I noticed that when I move around my vagina has a stench. It’s usually a wet liquid, almost like pee. There’re little to no discharge and it doesn’t hurt or itch.

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.”

—John Adams

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.

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.

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

Is there a possibility that we are living in a simulation and that there is a concept of rebirth?

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.

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

—Thomas Jefferson

What do flat earthers think about Antarctica?

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