1. F EDERAL S UPERSTRUCTURE By: Cassie Smith

2. B ACKGROUND I NFORMATION Was Created January 30,1788. Was first published in the Massachusetts Centinel.

3. P URPOSE To inform the public of the states that have ratified the new constitution and the one state (Massachusetts) that was pending on ratifying the new constitution. To persuade people to support the ratification of the new constitution.

4. T ECHNIQUES There are five pillars standing, each with the abbreviation of a state on them. (Del., Penn., N.Jer., Geor, and Con.) There is a pillar that is tilted toward the right with the abbreviation Mass. on it that is being pushed up by a pair of hands that are coming from the sky.

5. P ATHOS This political cartoon appeals to pathos because it makes people think about how the new constitution could help them and effect there lives if it is ratified. (In the time period it was created, not now)

6. L OGOS This political cartoon appeals to logos because it is logical that a building cant stand without all of its pillars. That this new constitution couldn’t stand without the support of all the states.

7. E THOS This political cartoon appeals to ethos because it was published by the Massachusetts Centinel. A very popular, trustworthy paper of the time period.
