Encyclopedia of the United States Congress is an effort to inform the reader about the political process of Congress and how this institution has been a vital part of America's democratic experiment." "Written by experts on the topic, this comprehensive A-to-Z volume contains all the material a reader needs to understand the U.S. Congress, including the people, events, and terms involved in the legislative branch of government. It also provides explanations of the relationships between the legislative and other branches of government, court cases, elections, political opponents, congressional leaders, scandals, controversial issues, and the inner workings of Congress."--BOOK JACKET.
