Legislative Issues in the Fifty States, 1963
This study of state legislative politics surveyed legislators from all 50 states. Questions were asked about areas of political conflict in the legislature, the determinants of conflict, the role of various political actors, and the accumulated effect of conflict upon policy formation. Background information was also collected.
The Legislative Committee Game
Francis examines the legislative committee "game" in the United States, arguing that within the constitutional context rational behavior leads to decentralized agenda setting. The committee system represents the lynchpin in this decentralization, and Francis charts the flow of decisionmaking from individuals in subcommittees to full committees to the entire legislature. Drawing on the database of all 50 state legislatures, a survey of over 2000 legislators, and an intensive study of the state legislatures of Indiana and Missouri, he describes how the leadership sets decentralizing events in motion at the beginning of each session by accomodating requests for committee assignments and appointments; and shows how the decentralized decision making produces a higher bill passage rate.
