Rise of Democracy

            In class we read about the rise of democracy. There were six primary sources to help us familiarize ourselves with the topic. Before we started we split into smaller groups though. In the small groups we analyzed the sources to answer the essential question, "How do we define democracy? How democratic was the U.S. in the early 1800's?" To show that we could answer the questions each group put together a presentation. My group decided to make a poster demonstrating that we understood the material.
