9319225 Martis This project creates a relational database on congressional history, 1788-1992, that permits secholars, for the first time, to use easily an unprecedented range of variables pertaining to congressional careers, committees, elections, party and roll call voting, presidential relations, and workload. Some of the material to be contained in the new database is now archived in separate Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research databases; other major aspects will be newly created. What is truly path-breaking about the project, however, is not only the range and scope of the data, but its relational structure. Scholars will be able to link easily data on different congressional dimensions, facilitating the study of their interrelationship in ways that until now have been virtually impossible. Project participants will apply this data to their own research on the development of congressional careers; the institutional impact of party realignments; the institutional effects of elections; the development of congressional-presidential relations; and the potential of national legislatures to resolve sectional conflict. These are but a few examples of the various kinds of topics scholars will be able to undertake more easily and more comprehensively. ***

小行星9319225 该项目创建了一个关于国会历史的关系数据库，1788-1992年，允许secolars，第一次，轻松地使用有关国会职业生涯，委员会，选举，政党和唱名投票，总统关系和工作量的前所未有的变量范围。 新数据库所载的一些材料现已存入不同的大学间政治和社会研究联合会数据库;其他主要方面将重新建立。 然而，该项目真正具有开创性的不仅仅是数据的范围和范围，还有它的关系结构。 学者们将能够轻松地将不同国会维度的数据联系起来，以迄今为止几乎不可能的方式促进对它们之间相互关系的研究。 项目参与者将把这些数据应用到他们自己的研究中，研究国会职业的发展;政党重组的制度影响;选举的制度影响;国会-总统关系的发展;以及国家立法机构解决部门冲突的潜力。 这些只是学者们能够更容易和更全面地进行各种专题的几个例子。 ***
