"The states that have approved the Constitution still need other states’ support."

Explanation: The “Federal Superstructure” is shown propped up by state-pillars; with only a few erected it’s unstable, and the god is shown putting in the Massachusetts pillar to strengthen it. The cartoon argues the new federal government needs more states (e.g., Massachusetts) to ratify to make the Constitution and government secure.
