That depends on what is meant by "democratic."
It was drafted secretly during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 by 55 delegates of the thirteen original States and subsequently ratified by a vote of the free male citizens of each State and includes references to the very undemocratic institution of slavery, however, when compared to earlier practices, the Constitution created a government that was more democratic, more representative, more responsive, and more inclusive than was the historical standard.
In hindsight, it may not seem very democratic, but at the time, it was a revolutionary document.
The Constitution of the United States created a republic, not a democracy. A republic is a government in which voters hold sovereign power, although at the time of the Constitution, only the House of Representatives was elected by the voters. In a republic, representatives excercise power but are responsible to the people. A democracy is rule by many persons and began in Greece where all the citizens would decide all the issues. You can call our system of government a "representative democracy."
