This book explains why the US Senate is more liberal than the House of Representatives, and why the political party of the incumbent representative often influences public policy. The author posits this is because Senators tend to represent more populous states, meaning they must appeal to a broader range of people. The author also examines the voting records of Congress members and finds that constituency factors such as race, income, urban or rural setting, and the competitiveness of the district can influence how they vote. This book combines historical and modern data and case studies to demonstrate the importance of constituency characteristics on voting records and public policy outcomes.
