This shows that if you want to spend your money buying bonds from the United States, you are wasting your money because Germany is sinking every thing we send to France.

Political cartoon analysis

#5- Hitler is using the men bowing before him (leaders of democracy) as stepping stones to get appeasement (avoid going to war). He is walking with his head held high because he has the control and he will do whatever it takes to get to the top. Hitler is the one who makes the rules and regulations.

Voltaire- 

Montesquieu- "The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office." He believed the power of the government should be in the three branches of government. 

Rousseau- 

Locke- "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." Believed people had rights that should be protected by the government.
