/—-/ We understand your distaste for the EC. Deal with it."....that fundamental maxim of republican government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail." --Alexander Hamilton
Does the majority prevail in a Democracy? Yes.
Does the majority prevail in a Republic? Depends on the type, for a constitutional and/or a democratic Republic (but not a socialist republic), the answer is yes.
"Democracy, as in Republic", they are not mutually exclusive terms, ASSHOLE.
Both are broad terms with alternate narrow usages. Each have a narrow use which are redundant. That 'democracy' is not in the constitution doesn't change the fact, nor does it in any pledge.
