[[Category:Internal]]
==Instructional Process==
* Open the following page: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/browse
* Type "entrepreneurship" or key words related to entrepreneurship in the search bar.
* For each individual bill listed, click on the bill and open the bill's overview page, i.e. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/s1137
* On the wiki page, record the bill number "S. 1137", the bill title "PATENT Act", and prognosis "36% chance of being enacted".
* If there is "See Instead" under the prognosis indication, there is another bill with this same title introduced to Congress. The two bills contain the same content (for the several bills I have checked). Record the prognosis of the related bill.
* On the bill overview page, under the "A Bill/"An Act" tab, there should be an option to view the summary of the bill. Read over the summary and interpret a high level conclusion onto the wikipedia page.
