POLS 330 - Congress and the Politics of Representation

Institution:

Western Colorado University

Subject:

Description:

Congress has been in the business of national government for two centuries-spanning in full the nation's life, its growth and trials, times of crisis and expanded responsibilities. And yet, through all the changes, Congress has shown a marked persistence in theory, structure, and practice. This course examines the dynamic tension between the constituency-oriented, individualistic Congress that emphasizes the representation of particular interests and the Congress that acts as a collegial body, debating legislative issues and writing the nation's laws.
