POLSC 140 Legislative Politics

This course examines the functioning of legislatures in the United States, chiefly but not exclusively the U.S. Congress. Legislatures' place in the political system, the forces acting on them, and their impacts on other actors in politics will be examined, as well as the behavior of legislators and the internal structures of legislatures will be considered.

Prerequisite(s): POLSC-001 or permission or the instructor or department chair.
