Those first graphs are seriously fucking confusing.
Edit: a good graph should be instantly understandable. It’s taken me a good couple of minutes to figure out what’s what. It may be that it’s clearer to Americans who instinctively know which chamber has 100 members and which has 400 whatever, but it shouldn’t be this hard.

It’s an ok visualization, but the data is rather obvious on its face. It would be more interesting to do a study that shows the trends over time, to include controlling for things like life expectancy, etc.

Thomas Jefferson was 33 years old when he signed the Declaration of Independence. What a shame this country is.
