Two main problems arise when we try to understand the relationship between populism and democracy. First, the over-extension of the category of populism leads to a conflation of movements and political parties with opposing democratic values. Second, the way populist actors represent democracy is often under-analyzed. This article tests the sociohistorical hypothesis that populism revolves around a singularly neglected concept in academic literature: constituent democracy. It constitutes its true political core. Populists understand democracy as being achieved by the people's constituent power, advancing both toward national-popular representation and the expression of popular autonomy in society. The article highlights this idea thanks to intellectual and militant productions from the three founding experiences of populism: Russian narodnichestvo , the US People's Party, and Latin American national-popular regimes
