What was the effect of this cartoon in 1867? (5 points)
It demonstrated the weakness of the veto power.
It showed that the president was well equipped for his job.
It emphasized the authority of the U.S. Constitution.
It validated the need for more control of the presidency.
It emphasized the authority of the U.S. Constitution
Explanation:
I don't think it would demonstrate the weakness of the veto power because if weakness of something was being shown, the book would not be pinning him to the floor. Also, it doesn't say that he is a president, nor does the picture show he is doing well with handling the book. The book is crushing him, and overpowering him which is why I would say it's the third option. The fourth option doesn't make sense because the image has to do with the Constitution, not the presidency.
