Excerpt from The History of Legislative Methods in the Period: Before 1825 It is the purpose of this work to trace the growth of the committee systems in the lawmaking bodies of the colonies and states from about 1750 to 1790, and in the federal House of Representatives from the beginning to 1825. During these years the committee form of organ ization was so firmly established that it has become the distinguishing feature of the American legislature. In view of this fact it seemed to be worth while to put in accessible form the more important steps in that early development. Matters of procedure are touched upon only in so far as they throw light on the main theme. In the processes of legislation it is difficult to separate completely the operations of the regular committees from the activities of the party caucus, and the following chapters discuss both types of organization, the formal, provided for by the rules, and the informal, supplied by the political party. An attempt is made to Show how the colonial legislatures were directed by party leaders, how the caucus and the executive influenced the work of the federal House, and also how certain arrangements made primarily to facilitate legislation have afiected some of the larger aspects of constitutional history. This study was undertaken 'at the suggestion of Professor Allen Johnson, of Yale University, and the material in Chapters I to VII, inclusive, with the excep tion of a part of Chapter II, was worked out in the form of a doctoral dissertation under his direction in 1913. The writer is very glad to acknowledge his indebtedness to him for helpful advice and criticism at that time. Those chapters have subsequently been largely rewritten.

This book explains how the United States Constitution made the transition from a very divisive proposal to a consensually legitimate framework for governing. The Federalists' proposal had been bitterly opposed, and constitutional legitimation required a major transformation. The story of that transformation is the substance of this book.

From the Revolution until the Panic of 1837 Americans accepted state intervention in the economy as a legitimate, even an essential, function of government. The Decline of Authority examines the transformation of New York State government between 1800 and 1860, a critical period during which governmental authority diminished as most state governments withdrew from interventionist economic policies and relinquished their role in the allocation of resources to the private sector. Exploring the relationship between socioeconomic change, public economic policy, and political development, L. Ray Gunn offers an innovative explanation for the new configuration of politics and governance in New York State that emerged during this era.

No legislature in the world has a greater influence over its nation's public affairs than the US Congress. The Congress's centrality in the US system of government has placed research on Congress at the heart of scholarship on American politics. Generations of American government scholars working in a wide range of methodological traditions have focused their analysis on understanding Congress, both as a lawmaking and a representative institution. The purpose of this volume is to take stock of this impressive and diverse literature, identifying areas of accomplishment and promising directions for future work. The editors have commissioned 37 chapters by leading scholars in the field, each chapter critically engages the scholarship focusing on a particular aspect of congressional politics, including the institution's responsiveness to the American public, its procedures and capacities for policymaking, its internal procedures and development, relationships between the branches of government, and the scholarly methodologies for approaching these topics. The Handbook also includes chapters addressing timely questions, including partisan polarization, congressional war powers, and the supermajoritarian procedures of the contemporary Senate. Beyond simply bringing readers up to speed on the current state of research, the volume offers critical assessments of how each literature has progressed - or failed to progress - in recent decades. The chapters identify the major questions posed by each line of research and assess the degree to which the answers developed in the literature are persuasive. The goal is not simply to tell us where we have been as a field, but to set an agenda for research on Congress for the next decade. The Oxford Handbooks of American Politics are a set of reference books offering authoritative and engaging critical overviews of the state of scholarship on American politics. Each volume focuses on a particular aspect of the field. The project is under the General Editorship of George C. Edwards III, and distinguished specialists in their respective fields edit each volume. The Handbooks aim not just to report on the discipline, but also to shape it as scholars critically assess the scholarship on a topic and propose directions in which it needs to move. The series is an indispensable reference for anyone working in American politics. General Editor for The Oxford Handbooks of American Politics: George C. Edwards III
