Regardless of the decisions being made, peoples' opinions and wants vary. As you can imagine, a federal lawmaker's job is not easy.
In this module, play the role of a freshman lawmaker in the U.S. House of Representatives trying to serve your constituents' goals and the long-term goals of the United States.
