How Our Laws Are Made
First published in 1953 by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives, this popular brochure was meant to aid the public's understanding of the legislative process. The 24th edition of "How Our Laws Are Made" reflects changes in congressional procedures since the previous edition, which was revised and updated in 2003.
