During the terminal several decades, country officials increasingly ended that their interests are not adequately represented in national policymaking and sought to increase their influence through the constitutional amendment procedure, the federal judiciary, and the political procedure. This article evaluates the extent to which these institutional mechanisms were effective in advancing state interests during the 104th Congress. United States Constitutional amendments were improbable and ineffective devices. Litigation was slightly more than successful, though it provided an uncertain source of long-term security for state interests. Efforts to work through the political process, either through securing the passage of legislation that increases congressional responsiveness or by engaging in direct lobbying, were moderately effective under certain conditions.
