In this second edition to a book that has now achieved canonical status, David R. Mayhew argues that the principal motivation of legislators is re-election and that the pursuit of this goal affects the way they behave and the way that they make public policy. In a new foreword for this edition, R. Douglas Arnold discusses why the book revolutionized the study of Congress and how it has stood the test of time. The book also contains a new preface by the author. Winner of the Washington Monthly Political Book Award for 1974
