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

A primary election is the election used to determine which who will be each party?s candidate for office. For example, in 2008 the democratic primary elected Barrack Obama to be their candidate. A party caucus is a group of members in a party from a community that discuss whom they feel they their candidate should be in the upcoming election. The district results are reported to the county, and the county results are then reported to the states, which are then reported to the country, and used to determine each party?s final candidate.
