Question:
How might intra-party and inter-party polarization influence:
1) the powers the party caucuses might delegate to their leaders, and
2) how caucus leaders deploy their authority?
You can think of leaders’ deployment of their powers relative to:
1) members within their caucus, and,
2) the chamber floor (for the later, you can think in terms of proposal and negative agenda setting powers). Illustrate your argument with specific examples.
