Congress and the Legislative Process
Spring 2002
Tuesday and Thursday 1:30-2:45, Gengras G
If you
like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made.
Not for the weak of heart or weak of stomach. This course is an in depth
examination of the American law making process. We will explore many aspects of
Congressional politics, including theories of representation, the committee
system, the role of interest groups, and congressional elections. The class will
be conducted primarily as a seminar with some structured activity.
