A Reflection of Democracy

Most recently in History class we have been learning about democracy in the 1800s and how it came to be in the United States. Our goal for this lesson was to figure out the meaning of Democracy, and how active the system was in the U. S. during the 1800s. To achieve this goal we analyzed 7 pieces of information  and each group also came up with a definition of Democracy. My group’s definition of Democracy is a system of government where people are directly given the right to vote on issues and their government, this was not a fully accepted idea until the mid 1800s. While analyzing the 7 pieces of information we took notes on how the data reflected democracy in that time period. We then created either a web or a prezi with the essential question in the center and branches going out to our explanations for each document.

This is my groups poster.
