立法的集体性质迫使立法者相互依赖信息和支持。这种协作活动需要在不确定的环境中选择伙伴关系。立法机关的基本规模和组织放大了这种关系选择的不确定性。2007年对美国所有州立法者之间合作模式的分析证实了这一预期，表明大型立法机构具有高度党派合作网络，通常密度较低，而较大的立法委员会则减轻了这些影响。因此，即使立法者的属性没有改变，立法机构的组织规模也会影响立法者的互动方式。
The collective nature of legislating forces legislators to rely on one another for information and support. This collaborative activity requires a choice about partnerships in an environment of uncertainty. The basic size and organization of a legislature amplifies this uncertainty in relational choices. Analysis of collaborative patterns between all the U.S. state legislators in 2007 corroborates this expectation, indicating that large legislatures have highly partisan collaborative networks with generally low density, while larger legislative committees mitigate these effects. Thus, even when the attributes of legislators do not change, the organizational size of the legislature can shape how those legislators interact.
