Abstract
For this chapter and the three following, the theory developed above will be applied to the U.S. House of Representatives from 1837 to 1895. It was during these years, conventionally identified as the “partisan era” of American politics, that the House grappled with the issue of minority obstruction and put a definitive end to many of the most important obstructive techniques available to minority members of the House (Galloway 1969).¹ If this were a standard test of the model, I would at this point proceed directly to considering the cases of significant rules change in some legislature I had selected.
