The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The interpretation of the message of this Thomas Nast political cartoon, which shows Boss Tweed laughing as he is being arrested while the Shadow of Justice looks is the following.

Boss Tweed was the classical representation of corrupt practices of interest groups in United States politics in the Mid 1800s.

Boss Tweed(1823-1878) was a United States politician leader of the political machine of the Democratic Party called "Tammany Hall" in New York City. He was also a businessman with many economic interests and political agendas that bribed legislators to favor his own interests and other businessmen's interests.

So in the cartoon, Thomas Nast depicted the power and influenced Tweed had in New York with the text: "Sheriff Brennan merely nodded to Mr. Tweed, bade him 'Goode-day,' and laying his hand tenderly on his shoulder, said laughing, 'You're my man!' Tweed believed that he could control everybody, including the court system.

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Based on 'Marat addressing the people', the painting by Louis-Leopold Boilly, describe the scene around him. Account for his great popularity.

What kinds of reactions would a painting like this produce among viewers in the Salon?

Answer:

In this painting, Jean-Paul Marat is shown speaking to a huge congregation of people.  

His newspaper, L´Ami du Peuple (The friend of the

people), as many others at the time, spread the political philosophers´ ideas about liberty and justice, previously only attainable by educated people, among the common people. That´s why he was so popular and his speeches attracted massive groups of people.

Explanation:

The Salon was an official french art exhibition sponsored by the French government, destined to the nobility´s social gatherings, but also where critiques of the Ancien Régime and revolutionary ideas were discussed.

A painting depicting the massive spread of liberal ideas would have been upsetting for the nobility in favor of the Ancien Régime, and a hopeful call to those interested in revolutionary ideas.
