Keith Dougherty specializes in the institutional design of American politics, both the implications of various political institutions and the motivations behind their creation. His study of the implications utilizes the tools of Social Choice to determine the probability that voting rules, assembly sizes, and quorum requirements adhere to a normative criterion, or sets of criteria, when individual preferences are unknown. His study of the creation of institutions focuses on seminial moments in Amerian history, including the the framers' motivation for adopting the U.S. Constitution and the initial rise of political parties. To support his study, he created the (CCRG), which recovered delegate positions on all substantive votes at the Convention.
