Parliament and Congress: Representation and Scrutiny in the Twenty-First Century

Beschreibung

In Parliament and Congress constitutional backgrounds and the procedures are described, and where possible compared, in an entirely fresh look at the two legislatures. Though their constitutional positions and development are quite distinct, they nevertheless have much in common historically and face many of the same contemporary problems.
