Because they wanted to protect people's liberties. also because they wanted to ensure the rights of the people and that they were protected from the government.
After WW1 the U.S. went into a Great Depression and when Franklin D. Roosevelt's was elected, his first 100 days he created many agencies to end the Great Depression.Hope that helps. :)
Yes Franklin's cartoon of join or die was very effective. It had a snake that had been cut into eighths and each segment represented colonies of America. Benjamin Franklin editorial game under America's “United colonies” showing an urge to join against the British during the Revolutionary war.
8 Cuts of the snake show the separated colonies and it was a clear depiction for those colonies to join in order to make a difference in power.
It came across as a great persuasion and influence them to get organized to fight against outside enemies. The political cartoon meant a great deal in combining people against enemies.
