Compared to the rest of american history, recent congresses have been polarized and productive in terms of passing laws.

They have been more polarized and less productive. One way that their productivity has been measured is by counting the number of public laws that have been passed in the last sixty years. High political polarization is when republicans agree with republicans and democrats with democrats. In the past, parties agreed on more issues with opposing parties.
