- Synopsis
- From John Adams&’s 1774 diary entries on debates in the Continental Congress to the first ouster of a seated Speaker of the House in U.S. history in 2023, Jordan T. Cash and Kevin J. Burns&’s Congressional Deliberation offers an edited and historically contextualized selection of primary sources highlighting key turning points in the history of the U.S. Congress. Via its diverse documentary record—and often by way of showcasing the lively cut-and-thrust of historic House and Senate debates—Congressional Deliberation sheds light on such formative issues in Congressional history as war powers and foreign policy, impeachment, civil rights, representation and apportionment, filibusters, federalism, oversight and investigation, legislative leadership, and many more. It will prove a valuable resource to all students of the U.S. Congress and of representative government.
