"The Man Wot Drives the Constitution" is a political cartoon by Edward Williams Clay, an American lithographer and caricaturist active in the early to mid-19th century. Created in the 1830s, this work is part of a series of satirical prints that comment on the political and social issues of the Jacksonian era in the United States. Clay's cartoons often targeted Andrew Jackson's presidency and the actions of his Democratic Party, reflecting the intense partisan debates of the time.

In "The Man Wot Drives the Constitution," Clay uses allegory and symbolism to critique what he and others perceived as Jackson's overreach of executive power and his disregard for constitutional limits. The cartoon typically features a figure representing Jackson or a member of his administration, handling the reins of government in a manner that suggests recklessness or incompetence. This imagery served to underscore the anxieties of Clay's contemporaries about the state of American democracy and the potential for tyranny.

Edward Williams Clay's work is significant for its contribution to the development of American political cartooning. His sharp wit and incisive commentary provided a template for future generations of cartoonists to engage with political discourse through visual satire. "The Man Wot Drives the Constitution" exemplifies the potent role of art in shaping public opinion and reflects the vibrant print culture of 19th-century America. As with many political cartoons of the era, Clay's work circulated widely, offering both entertainment and critique, and it remains a valuable historical document for understanding the period's political tensions.
