Beschreibung
The unprecedented politics of the past four years, culminating in the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, underscore the need for a new edition of The U.S. Congress: A Very Short Introduction. The previous editions explored the essential necessity of compromise to accomplish anything significant in the legislative arena, but recent events show that political polarization has hardened and produced gridlock. This new edition explains how the parties have changed and how that has affected both the House and Senate.
