While research interest in state legislatures has grown significantly in recent years, paucity remains in such basic areas as recruitment and elections, career patterns, legislative organization and structure, roles and norms, representation of constituency, legislative decision-making, legislative budgeting and oversight (Jewell, 1981:1-2). This work is an introductory effort to provide information about these areas in the Arkansas state Senate.
