Democracy in our Nation's Earliest Days


This is the poster that our group created to answer the essential question of How democratic was the United States in the early 1800s? We used multiple primary and secondary sources to show the democratic processes of the United States in the early 1800s. The first source was a painting showing various aspects of an election in a small town. The next two sources are charts showing the voting requirements and whether the legislature or the people voted. A summary of the Dorr war is also provided. Finally, there are two quotes illustrating flaws in the United States democracy. In my opinion, the United States was not very democratic in the early 1800s.
