Isn't democracy the slogan of the Soviet Union?
This is really not! ~

"Democracy" was first called out by the labor movement camp in the19th century. However, with the split of the Second International (1889–1914), democratic socialists parted ways with * * * capitalists, and the former took refuge in bourgeois rulers of various countries. Since then, the words democracy and society have generally appeared in the constitutions of European countries.

As for the "democracy" in the United States, it is earlier. At first, the founding fathers of the United States were not only not interested in democracy, but the earliest federalists represented by Hamilton (the principle of the American Constitution) even opposed party politics. The banner of "democracy" in the United States was first blown by a French scholar, Tocqueville, in the19th century. His famous work is On Democracy in the United States (1839). Tocqueville has a very interesting sentence in this book: the United States has never experienced a democratic revolution, but it has achieved "democracy" ~ ~
