The basic difference between a democracy and a constitutional democracy is that while democracy can only guarantee that the power is vested with the people (the majority, in fact), the constitution preserves the rights of the minority and prevents them from unwelcome contingencies of the majority will. In a Constitutional democracy the authority of the majority is limited by legal and institutional means so that the rights of individuals and minorities are respected.
