The Difficulties of Federal Legislation & How It Protects the Will of the People [No. 86]

Why is it hard to pass a federal law, even when there are compelling reasons to do so? Professor Kurt Lash outlines some of the steps involved in proposing a bill, amending a bill, and getting a bill passed. The federal Constitutional system was deliberately crafted to make the process arduous. The process forces both parts of Congress to engage in research to ensure that the proposed law is constitutionally sound and good policy. Professor Kurt T. Lash holds the E. Claiborne Robins Distinguished Chair in Law at the University of Richmond School of Law. He is the Founder and Director of the Richmond Program on the American Constitution. As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
