520 8 |a Congress occupies a central place in the U.S. political system. Its reach into American society is vast and deep. Overtime, the issues it has confronted have increased in both quantity and complexity.

It has attempted to meet these challenges and has changed throughout the course of its history, prodded by factors both external and internal to the institution.
