History of the Americas; Central government

From John Adams's 1774 diary entries on debates in the Continental Congress to the first ouster of a seated Speaker of the House in U.S. history in 2023, Jordan T. Cash and Kevin J. Burns's Congressional Deliberation offers an edited and historically contextualized selection of primary sources highlighting key turning points in the history of the U.S. Congress. Via its diverse documentary record-and often by way of showcasing the lively cut-and-thrust of historic House and Senate debates-Congressional Deliberation sheds light on such formative issues in Congressional history as war powers and foreign policy, impeachment, civil rights, representation and apportionment, filibusters, federalism, oversight and investigation, legislative leadership, and many more. It will prove a valuable resource to all students of the U.S. Congress and of representative government.

Reviews for Congressional Deliberation: Major Debates, Speeches, and Writings, 17742023

""Congressional Deliberation provides readers with valuable insights into many of the most consequential historical debates and hinge points in the American experience by offering access to crucial primary source materials. The descriptive summaries provided by the editors explain and contextualize the complex topics admirably, making this volume a valuable source for instructors in government, civics, and history. Many of the historic disputes included have a very contemporary resonance that will help prompt lively class discussions while also providing valuable primary material for research purposes."" —John A. Lawrence, PhD, Arc of Power: Inside Nancy Pelosi's Speakership 2005–2010 and The Class of '74: Congress after Watergate and the Roots of Partisanship ""Intelligently selected and edited, these debates and documents show how deliberation can be possible even among those who sharply disagree. This fine anthology should foster among today's readers a better understanding of Congress's historic role in representing Americans' political liberty and the civic purpose of restoring it.” —James R. Stoner, Jr., Hermann Moyse, Jr., Professor of Political Science, Louisiana State University
