Both houses of Congress, the House of Representatives and Senate, have majority and minority whips. They in turn have subordinate "regional" whips. While members of Congress often vote along party lines, the influence of the whip is weaker than in the UK system.

Party Whips in Congress are groups that assist the floor leaders of the party they belong to, that make sure that their floor leaders (or legislators) attend voting sessions and that impose discipline and direction to them in order to secure enough votes on measures that are congruent with the party's platform. This way, party whips guarantee that legislators do not vote according to their ideologies, but according to the party's ideology.

Therefore, Party Whips influence legislation by mobilizing votes within their parties on any legislation and by ensuring that legislators vote according to the party's desired measures.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

While I don't know what author you're talking about I can try to help.

The author believes it to be ironic that the power returns to the monarchy after a revolution because that's exactly what the revolution was attempting to combat and change and in the end the revolution accomplished nothing if that was their goal.
