Democracy plays a huge role in America. Democracy means having power in the hands of the elected who are elected by the people. In the 1800's, the U.S wasn't very democratic until people could elect legislatures. In class we read documents concerning the voting ability of the people, how Thomas W. Dorr helped Rhode Island adopt a new constitution within the state, and the requirements one had to meet to vote. We then were put into groups and created a poster.
