Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The ideal answer should:
a.Discuss that the research sought to evaluate the assertion stemming from the work of Corwin, Rossiter, and Schlesinger that we should expect a general ideological shift toward the president by members of Congress during a war and a general shift away the president during time of peace.
b. Explain that once methodological issues had been accounted for, the data for the 107th House and Senate revealed that all the members of the Senate and 323 members of the House demonstrated an ideological shift in the conservative direction with the outbreak of war and that the US entry into World War II coincided with an ideological shift to the left in line with the ideological orientation of the president, but that other wars such as Korea and Vietnam yielded mixed results.
c. Establish that the findings suggest that there is a correlation between ideological shifts in Congress, the onset of war, and presidential success, but some wars seem to have increased presidential success more than others, and congressional members who rallied behind the president during war quickly revoked their support after the war.
