Summary
This title provides an analytical insight into the work of Congress. The framers of the Constitution intended Congress to be the preeminent branch of government. What is it like to campaign for Congress? How do you attract large donors? What are the roles of staffers and lobbyists, and how do committees work? This VSI explores all these questions and also examines the creation of Congress by the constitutional convention, the checks and balances to the work of Congress and the floor proceedings, parliamentary rules, and the key players on Capitol Hill.
