In "Ideology and Congress," authors Poole and Rosenthal have
analyzed over 13 million individual roll call votes spanning the
two centuries since Congress began recording votes in 1789. By
tracing the voting patterns of Congress throughout the country's
history, the authors find that, despite a wide array of issues
facing legislators, over 81 percent of their voting decisions can
be attributed to a consistent ideological position ranging from
ultraconservatism to ultraliberalism. In their classic 1997 volume,
"Congress: A Political Economic History of Roll Call Voting, " roll
call voting became the framework for a novel interpretation of
important episodes in American political and economic history.
Congress demonstrated that roll call voting has a very simple
structure and that, for most of American history, roll call voting
patterns have maintained a core stability based on two great
issues: the extent of government regulation of, and intervention
in, the economy; and race. In this new, paperback volume, the
authors include nineteen years of additional data, bringing in the
period from 1986 through 2004.
