The wisdom of term limits and professional politics has been
debated since the time of Aristotle, spurring 'reforms' of
legislatures in Athens, Rome, Venice, and in the US under the
Articles of Confederation. This book examines recent trends in
American states in order to investigate the age-old question of how
the rules that govern a legislature affect the behavior of its
members and the policies that it produces. The clear and consistent
finding is that the two reforms have countervailing effects:
whatever professionalization has brought more of, term limits have
reduced. This lesson comes from quantitative analyses of data from
all fifty states and detailed examinations of legislative records
from six states, informed by interviews with over one hundred
legislators, staff assistants, lobbyists, journalists, and
executive officials.
