About this Item

Jacket has light wear, binding sound, internally clean. Congressional Dynamics is a 1994 book by Calvin C. Jillson and Rick K. Wilson that analyzes the First American Congress (the Continental Congress) between 1774 and 1789, exploring how its institutional structure and the choices made by its delegates influenced its evolution and eventual failure to secure adequate state support, laying the groundwork for the later Federal system. The authors use a new institutionalism perspective to examine the delegates' voting behavior and committee work, concluding that the institution's internal rules and norms contributed significantly to its shortcomings.
