Description
This is a discussion of the health of representative government in America today through an analysis of the contemporary character of state legislatures. During the last 20 years the states have undergone a major transformation as legislatures have come to resemble more and more the U.S.
Congress. Now the sort of problems that plague Congress also plague the states.
As professional politicians prosper, representative government suffers.
