The Wilmot Proviso, one of the major events leading to the American Civil War, it would have banned slavery in any territory to be acquired from Mexico in the Mexican War or in the future, including the area later known as the Mexican Cession, but which some proponents construed to also include the disputed lands in south Texas and New Mexico east of the Rio Grande. 

<span>This was controversial between the Southern and Northern states, because this allowed the Union to always have more representatives in the House of Representatives and would make sure that the Union could control the Southern states and vote against anything will slavery. </span>

<span>The Wilmot Proviso was a more-or-less religious declaration that slavery wouldnot be permitted in any of the new territories that were likely to be admittedto the USA.
 This would increase Northern dominance of Congress, and enable moreraising of taxes on imports - the big controversy in the South, which had nomanufacturing industry, and depended largely on imported goods.

Neporo4naja [7]

An interest/advocacy group is a social group that uses several measures to influence the public for political/social reasons. A scenario that best illustrates a way in which an interest group can influence policymaking is;

  • D . The Green Party petitions to get their candidate on the 2020 presidential ballot in several states to give their candidate a platform.

As defined above, interest groups use several measures like campaigns, awareness, lobbying, etc., to bring their desires to the intended people.

This is demonstrated by the Green Party who used petitions to present their desire to have their candidate installed as the 2020 presidential candidate.

Interest groups exert pressure to convince others of their opinions.
