    Hi James, I like how the infographic explains the connection between national law and free markets in a simple way. It shows how having consistent rules across the country helps businesses operate more fairly and smoothly. The visuals make the message easy to follow and feel very relevant today.

    Hi James! I thought your infographic was great! It was easy to read and straightforward! I liked the images you used, and I also liked the examples you have like the US court cases and quotes from famous political figures. I liked how you added the debate about Universal Health Care and tying it in with your infographic! A suggestion I have is I think maybe a little more detail about the debate and possibly other topics as well! Overall, great job!

    I think you did a wonderful job on your project. From the visual aspect to your main points. You did a great job explaining your points, their rejections, and it’s reaffirming. I loved how detailed you made it by giving visual examples and representations. I also wanted to highlight your color scheme and how well you tailored it to the information being presented. My only advice is for your reference pages, maybe organize them alphabetically to make it visually easier to go back and look for a source.

    Hi James! Very nice infographic! You did a great job clearly communicating the core message that “free markets and liberty rely on protected property rights and strong national law to ensure equal freedom for all.” I really like the red, white, and blue American theme throughout it ties everything together nicely. The layout is well-organized and easy to read. The question hook on the second page, “Are free markets necessary for individual liberty?” is especially engaging. It immediately draws readers in, and the information that follows effectively answers it. Your content shows that free markets have historically been seen as essential for individual liberty because they protect property and limit government control, while also acknowledging that some regulation can help preserve freedom by ensuring fairness and stability. One suggestion I have is to consider increasing the size of the pictures in each section to fill some of the empty space. All in all, great job! Very thoughtful and well-executed work!

    Hi James!
    Amazing Infographic! Your infographic was well organized, and as a reader, it was easy to identify your main points. I like how you divide your information into different color schemes. Considering that you provide such important information, I would suggest implementing more visualizations. You already catch your readers’ attention with your text, and if you add extra illustrations, your readers will stay hooked.

    James, very good info-graph! Your info-graph is not only extremely informational, but also very eye appealing. This project is very organized, follows a nice color pattern, and includes relevant images. I do like how you added court cases behind almost all your information to show evidence and real life proof of the information you are stating. The section I really enjoyed was the “debate persists on role of government”. I think this section is extremely important, especially in todays time considering healthcare is important for all, and should be accessible and obtainable to all Americans. If any changes were to be made, I would suggest adding more to modern day issues and maybe just expanding on what you have. All in all, very well done work here James !

    Hi James!
    Amazing infographic discussing how the supremacy of law fosters free markets! Your organization is very effective, guiding the reader through each principle with clear section titles, and I appreciated how you embedded the references directly within the infographic. I found your explanation of the ongoing debate surrounding free markets and if universal healthcare should be considered particularly engaging. However, strengthening the connection between this debate and the principle of the supremacy of law could make your conclusion even more impactful. While the concept of a free market is quite broad, your breakdown made it easy to follow for anyone who may not have extensive knowledge on the connection, and including quotes of figures such as FDR and Thomas Paine added meaningful historical and governmental context to show its relevance. Excellent work!

    Hi James,
    Amazing job on your infographic. The manner in which you arranged the information gathered for your principles was great and easy to follow. I enjoyed reading on both those who were for protection of civil liberties and those who were against them. By you including these two different perspectives, alongside with direct quotes gathered from the readings, allows readers to fully understand both sides. If I could offer one piece of advice, I would suggest maybe going a bit into depth on the conflicts that are still seen today and where we stand on those issues. Overall, your presentation was great!

    Good job on your project! I appreciate how you gave current and historic events to emphasize the importance of your principles. The one thing I would like to see is more information about those events, so it can help engage the readers! I also enjoyed how you explained the meaning of the Constitution being the Supreme Law of the Land and how it applies to state/local laws.

    Hello James, very good job on your infographic regarding free markets and supremacy law. Your organization and flow of ideas was very effective throughout your entire infographic. One interesting change may have been to choose a more unconventional font for your title to provider a little more visual distinction. Similar to Patrick Henry, I am a believer that the government should have the least amount of influence in citizens’ personal lives and should not be too powerful. However, as mentioned in your infographic, important documents such as the constitution are needed in order to keep order within our nation. That being said, in today’s day and age I think that the federal government should enforce basic rights and standard laws, and leave much of the rest to the states with some exceptions such as health care. Amazing job on your infographic!
