What is bipartisanship, and where does it occur?

What will be an ideal response?

One definition (as spelled out in the Key Terms) is "agreement or cooperation between members of two opposing political parties." In other words, legislators from both political parties work closely together in committees and other meetings, and agree on many fixes for local and state problems. (Socializing outside the legislature is mentioned, but it should be pointed out that "bipartisanship" in the legislative setting is about cooperating to get work done.)
