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

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.

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