Political Cartoon 2/ Bill of Rights

This country is a unique in the sense that our founding fathers wanted to create a country in which the government could not be too powerful and exploit its citizens. I drew Uncle Sam giving out food to represent that we are entitled to certain rights because we live in this country. I decided to draw Uncle Sam because he has become an icon representing the American government. In the drawing he is holding a plate with “constitution” written on it. On the plate, there are 10 different appetizers. These are the Bill of Rights that are written in the Constitution. I think that its intended audience would be every person living in this country because these rights apply to everyone. To reinforce this, in the original Uncle Sam drawings, he says, “I want you,” as he looks at you directly. In this drawing, the same principle applies because he is looking at you directly and not being prejudice against race, gender, or religious affiliation. It can represent the 1st Amendment.
