U.S. Democracy in the early 1800's

For the majority of last week, we worked in large groups to answer the questions: How should we define democracy and how democratic was the United States in the early 1800s?  Our group defined democracy as a system of government by the whole population or all of the eligible members of a state.  The people that make up a population get to vote on who they want to asssume the leadership role in their society.  After analyzing several sources, we came to the conclusion that the U.S. in the 1800's was not very democratic at all.   

This is the poster that our group created to support our answer to the essential questions.
It features data graphs of different states' voting methods,
quotes from different voters,
and a painting and it's description of an election.
