What makes for a "good" legislature? In Heavy Lifting, Alan
Rosenthal traveled to five states, interviewing and shadowing
legislators to find out the answer. Through this engaging
narrative, the author first establishes the most important aspects
of American state legislatures--what they are and how they do their
jobs--and then graduates to the book's central thesis: Rosenthal
argues that, on the whole, the American legislature must be
evaluated on the basis of its processes, not its products. He
breaks down the legislative process into three principal functions:
representing, lawmaking, and balancing the executive, and covers
each in turn in the remainder of the book.
