- Abstract
Roll call voting in the convention was highly structured. Using MacRae's clustering and scaling techniques, 78 per cent of the roll calls with disagreement fitted into 13 substantive dimensions. Although members were elected on a nonpartisan ballot, and did not organize the convention in a partisan fashion, partisan identification of the members was the best of several political, social, career, and constituency variables in accounting for roll call voting variance on most dimensions. Multiple regression analysis reveals that the other independent variables account for little roll call voting variance on dimensions not explained by partisanship.
