碩士 === 東吳大學 === 政治學系 === 92 === This article wants to answer two questions. First, what influence does the change of party number and party sizes have on the party interaction in the congress? Second, how majority government and minority government affect the party interaction model in the congress? Since the literature review shows that the election factors and the number of seats owned by the ruling party play an important role in legislative process, this article proposes three hypotheses：(1) Under a majority government, conflicts would happen more frequently when the number of seats of the ruling party is closer to that of opposition parties. (2) Under a minority government, conflicts would happen more frequently when the number of seats of the ruling party is closer to that of opposition parties. (3) Conflicts between the ruling party and opposition party happen more frequently under a minority government situation than a majority government situation. The data of congress roll-call vote this article focuses ranges from the first session of the third term of the Legislative Yuan to the second session of the fifth term of the Legislative Yuan, and the three hypotheses are testified and proved by analyzing the party voting. Therefore, the conclusion is that the seats number of the ruling party would affect the frequency of conflicts happen in the congress, and a minority government has more possibility than a majority government to lead to such conflict situation.
