Abstract
What should we expect of a separation-of-powers regime interlaced with tough checks and balances?   What should we expect of a legislature representing a heterogeneous public that seems to be growing more heterogeneous, not to mention more fractious, all the time? To think about these matters, it may pay to reach for historical perspective.
