Representative Democracy: Public Policy and Midwestern Legislatures in the Late Nineteenth Century

by Ballard C. Campbell

The period Campbell examines was one of rapid change and great challenge; urbanization, industrialization, and increasing national integration forced innumerable difficult and important decisions on state legislators. Campbell is sensitive to these stresses on law-making, and skillfully analyzes the interplay between personal and constituent factors that affected lawmakers.
