Why do American conservatives say that America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy? Would it not make sense to call America a constitutional republican democracy?

[with republicanism being the rights-protecting form of governance afforded us by our Constitution]

The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.

—Alexis de Tocqueville

When the Democratic Party came along in 1828, it was with the primary goals of, one, dispossessing Indian tribes in the South of their fertile lands and moving them west to the territories, and, two, protecting slavery. In order to dispossess categories of people of their property and rights, “majority-rules democracy” is called for, and the Democrats ramped that up on all fronts:

The thinking of our founders:

I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either.

In short order we got ballot initiatives, recall elections, referenda, direct election of Senators, a Bismarckian-style administrative state (allowing the great bulk of our legislation to be enacted secretly)… NOT power to the people, but power to the majority position. After all, through the half century of the Progressive Era, the progressive Anglo-Saxon-Protestant outlook numbered almost a super-majority of voters resulting in abominable acts against the rights of minority populations.
