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.

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

Why? Try these on for size:

It seems that I am cursed with bad luck. How do I break such a curse?

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.

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

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

—Benjamin Franklin
