What is Democracy?

This unit is about Protecting Nations and Growing Democracy.  The second lesson in this unit is about the Rise of Democracy.  The essential question for this lesson is, “How should we define democracy?  How democratic was the United States in the early 1800s?”  In our groups, we each defined democracy.  My group defined democracy as a system of government where the power is vested in the people or through freely elected representatives.  After this, each group then went through each document and took notes.  Then we created a poster including the primary sources and explaining how each helped us define democracy.  


This a picture of the poster my group created.




This is a picture of my group's answers to the questions on The Dorr War.
