I. Introduction A. Congress: the least popular branch B. Heavily emphasized in the text of the Constitution C. An independent and powerful institution During the 1970s party polarization was very much the exception to the rule. Some scholars insist that the ?disappearing center? in Congress reflects partisan and ideological divisions among average Americans, while other scholars seem equally sure that we are instead witnessing a ?disconnect? between a still nonideological and politically centrist mass public and its representatives on Capitol Hill. II. Congress versus Parliament Comparison with British Parliament Parliamentary candidates are selected by their parties. Become a candidate by persuading party to place name on the ballot

Judging John Q. Adams National Security-8 John Quincy Adams got an eight because there was a conflict between regions. At the time, the United States had 11 free states and 11 slave states. If there was going to be another slave state or free state, then it would tip the balance. The senate was in favor of adding a new slave state.

Economy-9 John Quincy Adams wanted to strengthen the economy because he believed that a strong economy would prevent regional conflicts. So he wanted to pass a protective tariff. He said that it would help domestic industries by keeping Americans from buying foreign goods. Relationship with foreign countries-8
