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.

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

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.”

—Alexis de Tocqueville

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

—Benjamin Franklin

—John Adams

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? Try these on for size:

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.
