Discussion Question

"Partisan Legislation" Based on the lecture, address the following:

• Policy restraint is built into our system of government. Some people argue that intense partisan competition forces each side to be a watchdog for the other, thereby achieving stability and balance. Others argue that this highly partisan environment leads to a paralysis in policymaking and detracts from tackling society's most important issues. Analyze the influence partisan politics has had on the issue/policy that you are researching. Does the partisan balance of Congress matter in terms of the policies it enacts? Why or why not? Provide an example. Support your position with appropriate sources.
