Estimated Time
An estimated 60-90 minutes is needed to complete this activity.
Prompt
Comparing countries is always done in context. The context of one’s home country, lived experience, and pre-existing assumptions about other countries matter when comparing countries.
Assuming we have some degree of American-centricity when thinking about comparative politics and analyzing countries, it can be useful to see how this American-centricity is framed for the nation’s legislative body: The United States Congress.
