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.

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.

Why do the Republican city officials at Springfield Ohio continue to deny that immigrants are eating pets to sabotage the Trump campaign, even though immigrant pet-eating is now widely believed to be true?

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.

There's no way Republican Trump won all seven swing states. How was he able to cheat and steal the election?

[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.

—John Adams

What’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?

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.”
