As you can see, the Founding Fathers knew the correct meaning of the word DEMOCRACY and folks,
WE AIN'T NO DEMOCRACY!!! We may have democratic characteristics as we citizens participate in governing only to the point of voting in our representatives who then decide on laws etc.

The word "democracy" is not found in the Constitution.
"It is of great importance in a republic, not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers; but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part." --James Madison
