Separation of Powers Political Cartoon


To me, this political cartoon is saying that the Republican wants the executive branch to sit back, and not do much, and the legislative be in control of the Judicial branch of government. This political cartoon depicts the principle of government that is separation of powers.

Federalism Political Cartoon


The short fat man is considered a state senator, and the tall man is the federal government or "Uncle Sam." The State Senator is accepting the government's funds but he is refusing the control of the government. This political cartoon represents Federalism.
