Scholars estimating policy positions from political texts typically code words or sentences and then build left‐right policy scales based on the relative frequencies of text units coded into different categories. Here we reexamine such scales and propose a theoretically and linguistically superior alternative based on the logarithm of odds‐ratios. We contrast this scale with the…

This study examines the conceptualization of representation, particularly the problems resulting from conceiving of it simply in terms of congruence between the attitudes of constituents and of representatives on policy questions. It examines critically some of the work that followed the innovative study of Miller and Stokes. Regarding representation as responsiveness, it identifies four components…
Proponents of state legislative professionalization thought it would increase membership diversity. I assess whether this expectation has been met by examining the relationship between the level of professionalization and the numbers of blacks, women, and various occupational groups elected to the state legislature.

There are striking differences across the two samples. While a proportional representation electoral system, women's participation in the labor…
