Look over the chart. How are these Presidents’ progressive reforms changing the federal government?

Political cartoons are a common way that ideas about politics are conveyed. Based on what we have learned about the Progressive Presidents, say what each political cartoon means in your own words. Often, saying what is literally happening but calling things what they are labeled will produce the idea of the cartoon.
