The authors present Congress as both more positive and more historically grounded than other texts.”—Michael S. Lynch, University of Georgia"A singular achievement! Chronicling Congress’s powers, practices, and development, the authors lament its declining role in the Constitutional framework and demonstrate why Americans should spring to the First Branch’s defense."—Douglas B. Harris, author of Choosing the Leader: Leadership Elections in the U.S. House of Representatives"Against the tide of national congress-bashing, Congress: The First Branch offers an important defense of the many virtues of our national legislature as the best embodiment of America’s pluralistic, democratic values."—Lee Drutman, author of The Business of America is Lobbying
