These network graphs show the connections between parties documented in the sources. They are constructed in Observable using the D3.js library.
Like the map, these networks are based on data extracted and cleaned from the submissions - but it's important to note that data cleaning is not clear-cut. The process involves a series of decisions about what data to include, what and how to standardize, how to interpret silences or lacunae, and more. For that reason, I have included both the text of the submissions (as transcribed and translated by Edmund Curtis) and my own spreadsheets so that you can see my editorial decisions and interventions.
