In The Contemporary Pennsylvania Legislature, John J. Kennedy
explores a variety of topics that are relevant for any small
lawmaking institution. He investigates to what degree current
social and technological changes have affected the Pennsylvania
legislature and how it has been transformed from a part-time
lawmaking body to a full-time professional institution. The data
for Kennedy's study comes from a survey of legislators who served
in the 1993-1994 Pennsylvania Assembly as well as candidates who
ran for office but were defeated. Noting that political parties are
on the decline in the U.S., Kennedy examines whether lawmakers are
more inclined to follow their own interests, their parties', or
those of their constituents when voting on particular issues. In
addition to discussing the philosophical dispositions of
legislators, he also examines the electoral experiences of defeated
candidates. Kennedy's study is an important resource for those
interested in American government, the legislative process, or
political science.
