jacobin France was a deomcracy, nazi Germany was a democracy, the USSR was a democracy

None of these were democracies. I guess you simply don't understand what a democratic constitution is.

You have not read any history. Hitler came to power in a democracy and the French Revolution justified itself with an appeal to democracy. Seems both Jefferson and Thomas Paine were very supportive of it. Don't know about Russia.
