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

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

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.

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.
