Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy.

  • Speakership Elections Since 1860: the Rise of the Organizational Caucus*
    Speakership Elections since 1860: The Rise of the Organizational Caucus* Jeffery A. Jenkins Department of Politics University of Virginia [email protected] Charles Stewart III Department of Political Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology [email protected] [Authors’ Note: This paper represents a draft chapter (Chapter 7) of an in-progress book manuscript. As a result, the chapter builds on analyses and arguments in earlier chapters. This note is an attempt to provide readers with some quick-and-dirty background, so that the substance of this chapter makes more intuitive sense. The thrust of the book manuscript is twofold: (1) to examine how Congress was viewed as a instrument for mass party building in the antebellum era, via the control of House officer positions, namely the Speaker (who staffed committees and guided the policy process) but also the Printer (who was a great source of patronage and led the party’s propaganda efforts) and the Clerk (who controlled significant patronage and also wielded significant institutional power, especially at the start of a Congress); and (2) to document how control of the House’s initial organization was extremely difficult to achieve during the antebellum era. On this second point, an example is helpful: of the eleven speakership elections between 1839 and 1859, five required more than one ballot. And of those five, three were extremely contentious – choosing a speaker required three weeks and 61 ballots in 1849 (31st Congress), two months and 133 ballots in 1855-56 (34th Congress), and two months and 44 ballots in 1859-60 (36th Congress). Moreover, it was also not always possible to predict who would be elected an officer of the House even after the Speaker was chosen.

  • Civil Rights and the Making of the Modern American State
    Civil Rights and the Making of the Modern American State Did the civil rights movement impact the development of the American state? Despite extensive accounts of civil rights mobilization and nar- ratives of state building, there has been surprisingly little research that explicitly examines the importance and consequence that civil rights activism has had for the process of state building in American political and constitutional development. Through a sweeping archival analysis of the NAACP’s battle against lynching and mob violence from 1909 to 1923, this book examines how the NAACP raised public awareness, won over U.S. presidents, and secured the support of Congress. In the NAACP’s most far-reaching victory, the Supreme Court ruled that the constitutional rights of black defendants were violated by a white mob in the landmark criminal procedure decision Moore v. Dempsey – a decision that changed the relationship of state and local courts to the national state. This book establishes the importance of citizen agency in the making of new constitutional law in a period unexplored by pre- vious scholarship. Megan Ming Francis is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Pepperdine University.
