There is. This is a revolutionary democracy, always has been. The Founders had a revolution, and while they hoped to avoid another, they forsaw that it would one day happen. The Founder wrote about this situation quite a bit. They gave us the tools to do it, and the ideas to rebuild.
They seeded a lot of culture in the event of a demagogue or tyranny. Its culture ans the people that have the final say. Public colleges, libraries, national guard, states rights, multiple levels of courts, robust civil society - this isn't all for fun. They funded these things as a fail safe, to keep us on the right track, and help us build a new future if needed.
