We examined legislative votes on key defense policies related to \"Foreign and Defense Policy support\" Clausen category, focusing on periods before, during and after notable conflicts. We visualized each legislator's ideological position, represented by their proximity on a two-dim liberal-conservative spectrum.\n\n[Voteview](https://voteview.com/) assigns coordinates to each legislator based on their voting history:\n\nSocio-Economic Dimension (X): Reflects the historical left vs right or liberal (progressist) vs conservative.\nSocio-Cultural Dimension (Y): Captures pivotal issues relevant at the time of voting, often encompassing race, civil rights and cultural identity.\n\nHistorical events considered:\n\nWorld War II\nVietnam War\nAfghanistan Invasion\n\n ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n### Collaborators: [Sebastian Freille](https://github.com/sfreille) \u0026 [Rafael Hoffmann](https://github.com/rfhfmnn)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstefanobalbo%2Fvoteview","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstefanobalbo%2Fvoteview","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstefanobalbo%2Fvoteview/lists"}
