Rise of Democracy

Today in class we did something different and made a poster to display the unit and the essential questions. The essential questions were; How should we define democracy? How democratic was the United States in the early 1800s? To show the answers to these questions we used various documents and wrote summaries. In the early 1800's democracy was just beginning to become popular. Democracy is a form of government where the people can vote for the elected representative of their choice. Although, during the 1800's the "people" who could vote only included white male land owners. Below is attachments of my groups final poster.
