Congress and its members

Synopsis

Addressing a general readership and students, Davidson (emeritus, government and politics, U. of Maryland) and Oleszek (political science, American U.) present the new edition of an undergraduate level textbook introducing the politics and structures of the modern U.S. Congress. Their analysis rests on the concept of the dual nature of Congress as a lawmaking institution and as an assembly of local representatives.
