Farmer Fed represents the federalist and the cows he is about to milk represent the anti-federalist and their views on federalism. The anti federalist fear that the federalist will control them and “milk” them for money and all freedoms. That feared that with having a federal government that the land and freedoms would all change and become more like that of the land they had just fled.
This cartoon represents several things within the bill of rights. First of all the church and the people are representing the Freedom of Religion. According to the 1st amendment of the bill of rights all persons have the right to their own beliefs and are free to assemble together to worship their way. While they are enjoying their freedom of religion across the street is yet another group of people who are called the Atheist Group, those who do not believe in God, they are exercising their right to freedom of speech. Here in the United States people have the right to speak as they choose as long as it does not cross the lines of slander, or provoke violence. We see a lot of protest in the United States. The problem with that is I think it is a thin line when it comes to protesting as it often does turn into fighting and riots. But as we all know this happens every day in this land that we call freedom.
My cartoon represents a comical yet realization of what starts with a push poll. Push polls can carry it to far sometimes in making statements that can lead people to believe something that isn’t true. Then that person tells someone else and then someone else and so on and so on, until the statement that began is so far stretched it is in no ways similar to that of what it was originally. In my opinion this type of poll should not be allowed as it is misleading to the citizens of this great country.
