在本文中，我们对20世纪末众议院政党两极分化的证据和论点进行了批判性回顾。我们发现，政党极化的推论显着影响投票改革在20世纪70年代初。我们观察到，一个分解的唱名记录改变了我们对政党极化变化时间的看法，因此需要我们重新考虑对这一趋势的解释。我们重新审视政党极化的解释，并建立了一个强有力的情况下，把大量强调党的战略在地板上的行为在20世纪80年代和90年代的政党极化的解释。
In this article, we provide a critical review of the evidence and arguments about party polarization in the House of Representatives during the late 20th century. We show that inferences about party polarization are significantly affected by voting reform in the early 1970s. We observe that a decomposed roll-call record alters our view of the timing of changes in party polarization and therefore requires that we reconsider explanations of the trend. We revisit explanations of party polarization and establish a strong case for placing substantial emphasis on party strategies in explanations of party polarization in floor behavior during the 1980s and 1990s.
