It would be impossible to gain a complete understanding of the American system of government without an appreciation of the nature and workings of this essential body. This is an introductory text aimed at undergraduates studying American politics and American society. It looks at the workings of the United States Congress, and uses the Republican period of ascendancy, which lasted from 1994 until 2000, as an example of how the Congress works in practice. The book illustrates the basic principles of Congress using contemporary and recent examples, while also drawing attention to the changes that took place in the 1990s. The period of Republican control is absent from many of the standard texts and is of considerable academic interest for a number of reasons, not least the 1994 election, the budget deadlock in 1995 and the Clinton impeachment scandal of 1999. The book traces the origin and development of the United States Congress, before looking in depth at the role of representatives and senators, the committee system, parties in Congress, and the relationship between Congress and the President, the media and interest groups. This will be the first textbook on the market that enables students to incorporate these developments into their work and into their thinking about contemporary American politics and society. 606 $aPolitical science 610 $a1994 election. 610 $aAmerican government. 610 $aAmerican politics. 610 $aClinton impeachment. 610 $aPresident. 610 $aRepublican. 610 $aUnited States Congress. 610 $abudget deadlock. 610 $acommittee system. 610 $asenators. 615 0$aPolitical science. 676 $a328.73 700 $aEnglish$b Ross M.$0800728 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996543160503316 996 $aUnited States Congress$91802013 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01338nam0 22003011i 450 001 UON00095591 005 20231205102531.98 010 $a28-405-0150-3 100 $a20020107d2001 |0itac50 ba 101 $afre 102 $aFR 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aOpora$ela belle saison de l'hellenisme$eetudes de litterature antique offertes au Recteur Jacques Bompaire$ftextes rassembles par Alain Billault 210 $aParis$cPresses de l'Universite de Paris-Sorbonne$d2001 215 $a201 p.$d24 cm 423 1$1001UON00363929$12001 $aˆLa ‰belle saison de l'hellenisme 423 1$1001UON00363930$12001 $aEtudes de litterature antique offertes au Recteur Jacques Bompaire 606 $aLetteratura ellenistica$xStudi$3UONC029844$2FI 620 $aFR$dParis$3UONL002984 676 $a809$cStoria, descrizione, studio critico di più di due letterature$v21 702 1$aBILLAULT$bAlain$3UONV061587 712 $aPresses de l'Université de Paris-Sorbonne$3UONV259218$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20251031$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00095591 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI X 2 BOMPAIRE 001 $eSI MC 24047 5 996 $aOpora$9242932 997 $aUNIOR
