“It was a violent attack on a fundamental tenant of American democracy. ..."

A tenet is "a principle or belief generally held to be true. Organizations from religions to fields of study can have guiding "tenets" that hold them together as a group. It is sometimes confused with tenant which refers to the occupier or a land or building. Remember that "tenant" and "occupant" both end in "ant."
