OVERALL RESEARCH QUESTION: In the US Government, how does the institutional design of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches shape and influence policymaking?
SUB QUESTIONS
What obstacles and walls do congressmen have to face when they want to pass a bill?
Who influence government people the most, and how does it vary between branches?

effects do these terms have on their choices?
effects do these terms have on their choices?

not anticipated all the issues that we face today.
RESOURCES FOR RESEARCH:
I never thought about how the rules set by our founding fathers, although they may have worked in the past, would be outdated and not make sense for our current time period so I found that to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think that for future research one good topic would be explaining the exact process that a bill has to go through in order to be passed. https://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_law.html
Very interesting topic because I have never really put much thought into how our branches influence policymaking.
