Capitol Building

Capitol buildings are civic and political institutions associated especially with legislative government. In military history, capitals and government centers can become objectives, symbols of authority, or sites whose capture carries political significance. The United States Capitol became a major symbol of federal government, but other national and state capitols follow different architectural traditions. A domed miniature can evoke government or national power without representing a military headquarters. Its political function is separate from the fighting units it may accompany. The building’s enlargement accompanied the growth of the United States and Congress. Its dome became a national symbol, while successive construction campaigns adapted the complex to changing legislative needs.
