Post #6- THE UNITED STATES CAPITAL BUILDING
Locate the list of relief portraits surrounding the walls of the House Chamber. Look more closely at a few that interest you. Comment on why you think these images were chosen and what it says about our country that they were. Find two or three other examples of art or architecture that inspire democracy. Share pictures of them and explain your choices

I believe that these images were chosen to show very influential people on the world. Regarding our country I think that it says we are unselfish and give credit where it's due. 

1. The Capitol building's architecture resembles an Greek/Roman time period where a form of democracy thrived.

2. The Statue of Freedom at the top of the dome on Capitol Building. This shows a great amount about our government with what it symbolizes. Freedom has a huge roll in how Democracy works.
