This study examines improvement strategies for Korea’s legislative evaluation system through comparative analysis of the American Democratic Action (ADA) and American Conservative Union (ACU) models. Through literature review and comparative analysis, Korean legislative evaluation revealed structural limitations including over-reliance on quantitative assessment, limited evaluation entities, and lack of institutional continuity. In contrast, the United States has established over 50 pluralistic evaluation entities, ideological balance between progressive and conservative perspectives, and systematic methodology based on roll-call voting records through 77 years of evaluation history. Notably, the American evaluation system demonstrates significant political influence through extensive utilization in electoral campaigns and academic research. The findings suggest that enhancing democratic accountability in Korea requires diversification of evaluation entities, balanced integration of qualitative and quantitative assessments, and ensuring long-term institutional sustainability. This research establishes a theoretical foundation for constructing systematic and sustainable legislative evaluation systems within the Korean political context, contributing to the advancement of democratic governance and parliamentary oversight mechanisms.
