13 Some notes about historical Party control development Until roughly the Civil War, parties don t organize the chambers After the Civil War, they do (first the House, then the Senate) Even so, party control of committees is a 20 th century phenomenon Over time formal party positions have proliferated and institutionalized Institutionalization mostly a 20 th century phenomenon (see Gamm and Smith chapter in D&O)

21 Note some things about historical development Regional/ideological balancing Emergence of career ladder
22 Why Do Parties Exist? Anomalous position of parties in spatial models of legislatures The chamber median should rule. Party is just a label Who governs? Do leaders boss followers (common view) or do followers terrorize leaders?
23 Some perspectives on this question Rohde: Conditional party government Krehbiel: Where s the party? Calvert: Parties coordinate Aldrich, Cox, and McCubbins: Parties help members get elected
