Comprehensive Assignment #2 : Political Cartoon


Political Cartoon: Bill of Rights 

        I drew a political satirical cartoon; within this cartoon, a doctor, sharing similarities to Obama, is shown to be weighing the Bill of Rights.  Under the cartoon, it is written “Too much weight, some of these have to go,” implying that “the doctor” feels that some of the Amendments are not useful anymore and should be discarded.

            The audience of this cartoon would be geared toward more conservative politically minded individuals, who may feel that Obama and has infringed upon The Bill of Rights.  An example could include Obama’s platform on gun control, which many conservative minded people feel is an infringement of their Second Amendment Rights.   This cartoon in itself is a prime example of the Bill of Rights, because it demonstrates the fact that Americans have the Right to express and voice their opinions even if they shed a negative light on the government and or political leaders.
