Question

this cartoon shows the thirteen states as pillars that held america together.
what is the cartoon’s message about ratification?
○ each state can survive on its own, so no state needs the constitution.
○ the eleven ratifying states are strong enough to hold the country together.
○ the country will not be united unless all thirteen states ratify the constitution.

Explanation:

The cartoon frames the 13 states as pillars supporting the U.S. If only some ratify the Constitution (act as pillars), the structure (the country) is unstable, as shown by the leaning pillar. This implies full ratification by all 13 states is needed for a unified, stable nation.

Answer:

The country will not be unified unless all thirteen states ratify the Constitution.
