À propos de la quatrième de couverture

As the legislative decides which policy proposals will be deliberated and turned into law, it determines the scope and direction of all public programs. At the same time it remains a mirror image of the range and reality of American politics, to be viewed within the context of external forces such as political parties, chief executives, and courts. The American Legislative Process: Congress and the States is an exhaustive portrayal and analysis of the critical branch of American government at both the federal and state levels.

Revised in response to recent changes in the political scene, the tenth edition of this classic text is engaging, intriguing, and illuminating. Topics expanded upon or added include congressional rules changes and reorganization, the House speakership, and the leverage of special interest groups. Analysis in each chapter moves between federal and state entities and illustrates how legislative institutions and practices are shaped to reflect the interests and preferences of the legislators themselves.
