More evidence she’s never read the Constitution since the word “democracy” isn’t in it. It’s not in any of our founding documents.

We need to be more careful when using this argument Neither ‘democracy’ nor ‘constitutional republic’ appear in the Constitution or Founding fathers’ writings. In contrast, ‘democracy’ is on their writings.

However, the concept of Constitutional Republic is very strong there. It’s just when the Constitution or Founding Fathers refer to the concept, they use the term ‘Republic’ or ‘Republican form of government’.

Now, while ‘democracy’ does appear in their writings, the founding fathers find it less desirable than ‘Republic’.
