POL3063 Congress [3].

An overview of the institutions, rules and process that govern Congressional politics. The emphasis will be on how the institutions and rules of Congressional elections and policymaking constrain and shape the behavior of candidates and representatives. In turn, we will discuss how individuals shape Congress and what implications this has for the quality of democratic representations in the United States.
