¶ … United States Congress
Over the past 200 years or so, the relationship between the House of Representatives and the Senate has changed quite a bit, but not always for the better. The relationship between Congress as a whole and the Presidency has also changed during this time period, but the same is also true of it.
There are several reasons why this has happened, and they will be addressed in this paper. Also addressed here will be the extent to which these relationships have changed over the course of time. Both of these issues are very important, not just in understanding the history of our great country, but in making some kind of prediction for where it might be going in the not so far-distant future.
Some believe that the whole country is having problems and is on the verge of collapse. Major corporations have been found guilty of terrible crimes, the stock market has lost a lot of ground, the news is full of all of the terrible things that Americans do to each other on a daily basis. So what is it about America that makes people stick around?
Our government, for one thing. It is far from perfect but it runs more efficiently than the governments of many other countries that have democracies. It's also important to remember that we do have a democracy here. People can vote for the things and people that they like and don't like, instead of just being told by someone else what they will like. There are many countries where this is not the case. We are very fortunate to live where we do, and this is one of the reasons why we support our government through all of the changes it undergoes. Those changes are sometimes good and sometimes bad but in the end they all help the country to continue on its course.
The changing relationships will be focused on, but they will not be the only thing discussed in the following pages. Knowledge of the history of the United States Congress is very important in forming a clear understanding of the changes that have taken place and the factors that helped to shape them. The history will come first, so that the changes will be less difficult to understand. Once some of the workings of Congress are made clear, one begins to see the reasons that specific changes need to be made, and how those changes can be brought about.
The history of Congress is very long and detailed, and there is not room in this paper to make a thorough analysis of everything that has happened in that history during the last 200 years. Since space does not allow for a complete analysis of Congress, every effort will be made to explain things in as much detail as possible, giving the reader the main ideas of important happenings without boring the reader with great detail about trivial matters that did not hold much significance in either internal or external Congressional relationships.
By talking about the main happenings of Congress over the last 200 years, there will be some discussion of important bills passed and important Presidents, but mostly the history of Congress will deal with how they functioned and what kind of conflicts they faced during their first 200 years. There were many things that they had to deal with, especially early on, and it's important to know that some of the problems our modern day Congress has were with them from the very start of things. The same is true of concerns that plague the President with respect to Congress. Many of those conflicts and problems have been around from the first day of the first session as well.
After finishing this paper, the reader should have full knowledge of the main events and significant happenings in Congress, as they relate to conflict, over the last 200 years; the relationships between the House of Representatives and the Senate as well as between the whole of Congress and the President; and the kinds of and reasons for changes that have taken place over the history of the United States Congress. To make the paper easier to read, it will be broken down into seven different sections, with the first section being the introduction.
The second section will deal with the first 100 years of Congress, and the third section will deal with the second 100 years. No real effort will be made to keep everything in chronological order, since dates are not the concern here. The general ideas of conflict and how they...
