The Early Failures of Democracy in the United States

This is my group's Glogster on Democracy in the United States.

This week in my honors history class, we have been studying the rise of democracy in the United States in the early 1800s.  In groups of five or six, we read documents and analyzed primary sources in order to answer the essential questions. My group answered the questions How should we define democracy? and How democratic was the United States in the early 1800s? by creating a Glogster, a type of digital poster.  We discovered that democracy is a type of government in which the entire population participates, and that the United States was not very democratic in the early 1800s and was struggling to run its states through a democratic government.  Our Glogster (link below) presents information on the rise of democracy well, and describes each document and event from this time period with images.
