Please point out where it says democracy in the constitution.
The USA is a democratic republic at this point. A representative
democracy. Democracy is about how the decisions are made, or the
government is chosen; a republic is one of the forms such a government can
take. Neither of these are guarantees of freedom. And fascism, though
it
is often associated with dictatorship, is more about the policies and
practices of a government, being one that 'exalts' the nation, or the
race,
perhaps, above the individual'. But whether or not such a government
becomes in the end a dictatorship, such a government could still
conceivably
have in the beginning been democratically elected.
