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’.
I meant “constitutional republic’ is not found in either the Constitution or the writings.
Yes but those are not Founding documents but subordinate writings. Quite often when the word appears there they’re not overwhelmingly complimentary.
it doesnt matter what anyone said or says
the founding document forms a republican form of government
therefore a constitutional republic
