Sure! I'd be happy to help you come up with some ideas for your booklet.
1. Articles of Confederation:
The Articles of Confederation was the first governing document of the United States. Here are a few ideas for relevant images:
- Placing thirteen circular puzzle pieces together, representing the thirteen original colonies coming together to form a unified government.
- A scale representing a balance of power between the states and the central government, symbolizing the limited authority of the national government under the Articles.
- A broken chain to depict the weakness of the central government, as it lacked the power to enforce laws efficiently.
2. Land Ordinance of 1785:
The Land Ordinance of 1785 was a law that established the process for surveying and settling the western territories. Here are a few suggestions for visual representations:
- A map of the western territories, showcasing the organized grid system implemented for land distribution.
- A pioneer family with a covered wagon, symbolizing westward migration and the settlement of new lands.
- Dividing a piece of land using a ruler or compass, depicting the systematic process of surveying and dividing the western lands into townships and sections.
Remember, these are just ideas to get you started. Feel free to add your own creative touch and style to make the drawings unique to you. Good luck with your booklet!
