** "Congressional Government: A Study in American Politics" by Woodrow Wilson is a historical analysis of the United States government, specifically looking at Congress during the late 1800s. Wilson's book highlights how Congress became the most important part of the American government, even though the Constitution wanted a balance of power between the different branches. The book points out that Congress is hard to understand because it uses a complicated committee system that keeps a lot of what it does secret, and the book calls for a closer look at Congress to see how it changed from what the Constitution originally planned and what this could mean for the country in the future. **
