Hi Ana, I love how your infographic shows how E Pluribus Unum still matters today. It talks about how unity and shared values are being challenged, while reminding us that diversity has always been part of American identity. The visuals make the message easy to understand and why these principles are important to protect.

Hi Ana! Great job on your infographic, I really liked how you clearly laid out what, “E Pluribus Unum” means at the top of the first page. This was really eye catching and informative at the same time, which can be difficult to achieve in an infographic. My favorite part of your infographic was at the end in which you effectively tied everything together with a call to power. The conclusion is very powerful and leaves readers invigorated and reminded of the importance of freedom and the civil right to protest.

Hi Ana, I absolutely love this the transparency and trustworthiness are increased by this infographic’s comprehensive list of sources and useful description of the application of AI techniques. It presents a strong list of reliable sources and includes a transparent explanation of how AI tools were used, which adds credibility and responsibility to the project. The content is well organized, and the connections especially the discussion about history repeating itself and linking Tocqueville’s rhetoric to modern events like Donald Trump’s presidency make the infographic engaging and meaningful. However, it could be improved through cleaner formatting, such as fixing uneven spacing, enlarging the font, and correcting citations that wrap awkwardly across lines. Adding more illustrations that match the content, like visuals of the Founding Fathers on page one, would strengthen the visual appeal and help guide the reader. It would also help to bold or highlight important quotes such as “all men are created equal” to emphasize key ideas. Overall, the infographic is informative, thoughtful, and well-organized!

Hi Ana,
What a job well done on your project! I think you did such an amazing job capturing your main points and their meanings. Before reading your infographic, I had no idea what E Pluribus Unum was or what it meant. However, after reading your project, I now have a greater understanding and an idea of what it means. As a reader, it was very easy to understand, follow along with, and stay engaged.

Great job on your project! Your infographic clearly explained both of your principles, Popular Sovereignty and E Pluribus Unum. I was not familiar with E Pluribus Unum, and the section titled ‘Important History: E Pluribus Unum’ was especially informative, helping me grasp the concept. My only suggestion is to add more images in the blank spaces, as I noticed some throughout your infographic. Overall, you did an excellent job presenting the meaning and importance of both principles while effectively using material from our class.

Hi Ana,
I enjoyed this info-graph very much! This project is very organized, visually pleasing, and includes very good information. I loved the section on division in the current Trump administration. Showing and saying how the administration creates a rhetoric of us vs. them is exactly what we are seeing today. I also like the inclusion of how Trump claimed the election between him and Biden was false, thus undermining the people’s will. You are right, this is exactly what Alexis De Tocqueville warned us about. If I could recommend fixing one thing, it would be the blank space under your citations. Maybe a picture or making the text bigger could fix this. Amazing work here!

Hey Ana! Outstanding infographic! You did a fabulous job communicating the core message that “America’s identity rests on unity in diversity and the people’s power to govern, but growing division and attacks on popular sovereignty threaten the founding ideals of equality, representation, and democracy.” I really liked the conclusion section it ties everything together beautifully and reminds readers that we must preserve American ideals of unity, equality, and the people’s voice by actively defending them through protest, voting, and civic engagement. It’s a strong and inspiring way to end your infographic. One recommendation I have is to add more visuals or enlarge the font in a few spots to reduce empty space particularly on the first page under the “Vote” image and on the second page at the top, to the right of the “Important History” section and to the left of the “When citizens fought to be ‘one’” section. Overall, super cute, well-organized, and very impressive work!

Hi Ana, interesting infographic. I enjoyed your explanation of popular sovereignty as the foundation of government, and I think you did a good job of backing up your position with quotes from the Founders. I think you also did a good job of tying your ideas back to documents we read in class including the ones from John and Abigail Adams.

Hi Ana!
Amazing job on this infographic exploring Popular Sovereignty and E Pluribus Unum! The layout was clear, well-organized, and easy to follow, beginning with concise definitions and moving effectively into the historical context. Page 2 was particularly my favorite, as you skillfully connected these foundational principles to the current administration and the concern that history may be repeating itself. One suggestion would be to include an image at the end of your references page to minimize blank space and maintain the visual balance present throughout the rest of the infographic. Your conclusion was powerful, offering a compelling call to action in defense of unity, equality, and the voice of the people. Overall, this was an excellent inforgrapahic!

Hi Ana!
Your infographic was impressive, and the content was very well organized. I especially enjoyed page 2, where you discussed the issue of history repeating itself. I really liked how you connected Tocqueville’s rhetoric to contemporary topics, such as Donald Trump’s presidency. I would recommend adding some more illustrations that align with the information that you are providing. For example, on page 1, since you mention the founding founders you could provide an illustration. I would also recommend bolding key quotes such as “all men are created equal” and other important details that tie the infographic together. Overall, it was a very informative and engaging piece!
