AP Gov Congress / Legislative Branch Part I: Topics 2.1 - 2.3 [Everything You Need to Know]

This PowerPoint, with activities, and lesson plans are available @ https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/S... In the seventh lesson in our AP Government & Politics series for the redesigned AP Gov Exam, we start Unit 2 – Interactions Among Branches of Government with Part I of three lessons on Legislative Branch - Congress. Included in this lesson are: • Bicameralism • The Great Compromise Review • Differences in how chamber size, terms, and constituencies impact the operations of both houses • Framers original intent: create the Senate as an Upper House – chosen by state legislatures • 17th Amendment – direct election of Senators • House of Representatives – the People’s House – originally most democratic • Impact of different constituencies • Census • Redistricting • Apportionment or reapportionment • Party focus on state legislatures • Gerrymandering • Baker v. Carr – SCOTUS jurisdiction, equal protection, “one man, one vote” • Shaw v. Reno – no racial gerrymandering • 2019 Gerrymandering decision • Impact of gerrymandering • Safe seats • Impact of different constituencies: • Senate – broader appeal, less partisan • House – smaller constituency can lead to more partisan representatives • Senate outsized voice for small states • Impact of different terms: • Individual senators more independent, less partisan (sometimes), ability to function as “trustees” • House members constant campaigning, more partisan, less time to anger constituency • Impact of Size of Chamber on “formality of debate”: • House of Representatives – stricter rules on debate, House Rules Committee (political impact), discharge petition • Senate – more flexibility, filibuster, cloture vote, senatorial holds • Review Remember that the PowerPoint in this video as well as a variety of lesson plans, worksheets, smartboard files, and activities, are available at Teachers Pay Teachers.
