Each and every chapter brings theory and practice to bear to explain how and why important aspects of congressional structure, process, and policy making have changed over time. As in the first volume, the results fill gaping holes in our understanding of Congress and its role in representative government.\" —Joseph Cooper, Johns Hopkins University\u003cbr\u003e\"This book should be of considerable interest to scholars of Congress and American political development. Among its contributors are some of the very best in the field, along with younger scholars who are rapidly making names for themselves.\"—Keith Dougherty, University of Georgia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  List of Contributors\t000  List of Equations\t000  List of Figures and Tables\t000  1.\tAmerican Political Geography  David Brady and Mathew D.
