Leadership and Coordination in Legislatures: The "President" of the First American Congress: 1774-1789
We analyze the viability of the office of President of Congress as a source of leadership in the Continental and Confederation Congresses.1 Our primary interest is in institutionally grounded, as opposed to and separate from charismatic or personal, bases for leadership. We show that virtually every institutional support for leadership power recognized to be at work in the modern Congress was absent in the Continental Congresses. We trace the ori…
Leadership Patterns in the Continental Congress: 1774-1789
In this paper we investigate patterns of leadership in the U.S. Continental Congresses of 1774 to 1789. We begin by exploring modern theory concerning the importance and role of leadership in recent and contemporary U.S. legislative settings. Both our interpretive historical and our empirical findings show that traditional bases of leadership power were largely absent in the Continental Congress. We trace the origins of these deficiencies in lead…

A Social Choice Model of Politics: Insights into the Demise of the U. S. Continental Congress
This article provides a prominent historical example of how directly and thoroughly structure can affect the ability of a political institution to generate even minimally acceptable policy decisions. In the Continental Congress several obstacles to stable coalition formation and operation left most issues to be decided by a few strategically placed states. We find that a simple dimension-by-dimension median voter model, based in the social choice…
Voting Outcomes in the 1984 Democratic Party Primaries and Caucuses
Scholarly inquiry concerning influences on electoral outcomes in the presidential nomination process, though extensive, has been conducted almost exclusively with data collected at the individual level of analysis. The Michigan model of normal vote analysis suggests that long-term influences measured at the aggregate level, such as the sociodemographic, economic, and ideological characteristics of the states, are also important in determining ele…
The Political Structure of Constitution Making: The Federal Convention of 1787
The authors contend that our understanding of the Federal Convention and of the Constitution that it produced has been substantially and unnecessarily clouded by an ancient dispute between the adherents of two very broad traditions of political analysis. A rationalist line of interpretation has consistently argued for the centrality of ideas and political principles to the outcome of the Convention's debates, while a materialist tradition has con…
Constitution-Making: Alignment and Realignment in the Federal Convention of 1787
This study offers an empirical description of the voting alignments that dominated the American Constitutional Convention as the delegates struggled to produce the final report of that historic assembly. Its conceptual roots are firmly planted in the theoretical traditions of Schattschneider on conflict and cleavage, and of Key, Burnham and Sundquist on critical realignment of the American party system. I demonstrate that dynamic processes analog…
