The framers of our Constitution created a strong federal government resting on the concept of separation of powers.Ó Upon this elegant, yet simple, grant of legislative powers & rulemaking authority has grown an exceedingly complex & evolving legislative process -- much of it unique to each House of Congress. This document has been revised to aid the public's understanding of the legislative process.Johnson, Charles W. is the author of 'How Our Laws Are Made' with ISBN 9780756711221 and ISBN 0756711223.
