Congressional Studies is an academic field that focuses on the analysis of the United States Congress, its structure, functions, and processes. Researchers in this area examine how laws are made, the role of Congressional committees, and the interactions between Congress and other branches of government. This field also explores the behavior of Congressional members, including their decision-making, voting patterns, and relationships with constituents. By studying these elements, scholars aim to understand the impact of Congress on public policy and governance in the U.S., contributing to a broader understanding of democratic processes.
