Democracy is two wolves and a Lamb voting on what is for dinner, liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the outcome -Thomas Jefferson.

We're a democratic Republic, period. The founders were wise beyond belief. They recognized that as the country evolved, grew in population and modernized, the tenets in the Constitution would simply act as guidelines, which is why so many clauses were intentionally ambiguous and why The Constitution is what the USSC says it is.
