Why is the word "democracy" not in the preamble of the US Constitution?

With a marketing degree, can I do a master’s in film production?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
