Abstract

Legislatures change constantly. Each election brings new legislators and removes old ones. Those who remain are nevertheless affected by the changes in composition, and by other changes wrought by the passage of time. These changes in composition and changes in external stimuli inevitably produce pressure for changes in policy. And in a democratic system, legislatures are generally free to reverse or modify the policies of their predecessors.
