History: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: History of Congress

Our Congress has had plenty of statesmen, and plenty of scoundrels, with a few fools thrown in. Great compromises, noble laws and personal courage have been part of Congress. So have duels, physical assaults, lies and corruption. Learn the history of this branch of government and what it's like to be a member of Congress. This is an updated version that includes our recent "unusual" legislators.
