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

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

Why? Try these on for size:

—Benjamin Franklin

Why does everyone hate Anthony Joshua so much? I get that he isn’t the best heavyweight boxer ever but people claim he’s a no skill fighter but he has an Olympic gold medal, a world championship, and beat Klitschko, a dominant force in boxing

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.

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.”

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

Do you as a gay male enjoy the feeling of getting a penis in your anus?

—Alexis de Tocqueville

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

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

What could be the result if I block a covert narc back after he said blocks were going back up, maybe we try this again?

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

—Thomas Jefferson

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 British people always write "xxx" after their names?

—John Adams

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.

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.

What is the original source of the discord between Princes Harry and William? Does it go back to their childhood, or did it start with Meghan Markle?

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.
