Synopsis

19 essays, most of them new, five substantially revised, in the fifth edition of Congress Reconsidered reflect the thinking of leading scholars of the institution. One general theme running throughout the essays is that Congress is constantly changing. Like other political institutions it responds to internal forces and to the broader social and political environment of the time. This edition begins with the ysis of the 1992 congressional elections and consideres their implications as Congress moves from a period of divided government to one of united party control.
