Download or read book The Legislative Branch written by Rebecca Murcia and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Constitution has been debated since before the ink was dry back in 1787. But there is little question that it set up a strong government with an equally strong system of checks and balances between the judicial, executive, and legislative branches. This volume in the My Guide to the Constitution series describes the legislative branch, which some would consider the heart and soul of a democratic government. The founders of the United States of America wanted to avoid giving the president too much power, so they entrusted the legislature with such important duties as raising and spending government money, making laws, and approving or rejecting treaties with foreign countries. Over the years the U.S. Congress has achieved much and has also been harshly criticized, but the U.S. Constitution has continued to keep it in line.

Download or read book The Legislative Process in the United States written by Malcolm Edwin Jewell and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, when it was first published 20 years ago, was received with some reservations since it made a comparative study of legislative processes in the United States at the federal and state levels--an enterprise thought to be not viable given the unique characteristics of each state legislature and the American Congress. Over the last 20 years, however, these reservations have disappeared and there is growing recognition of the value of the comparative study. This fourth edition of the book has been completely rewritten and made concise. Special attention has been given to the growth of the independent influence of the individual member, a recent trend. More important, the structural-functional systems analysis, which provided a theoretical framework for the earlier editions, has been abandoned in favor of an approach that is more effective in helping students understand the operation of the American legislative process.
