Answer:

a)The BENEFITS from pork barrel spending are extensively kept to a legislator's constituents.

b)Pork barrel helps the legislative to achieve their log-rolling effort which also make it to be gaining popularity

explanation:

Pork-barrel has been in existence in many countries of the world especially in the United States' legislative, to a lesser amount. since the 1800s.

Pork-barrel simply refers to the actions of politicians exchanging favors granted to constituency or special interest groups in returns for political support, for instance getting of votes and campaign contributions.

Moreover pork barrel politics exclusively serve as benefits for just a particular segment of people, and it is funded by the larger community.

Barrel spending and later has been increasing back,more than a hundred years especially in U.S. politics.

For instance, Abraham Lincoln, traded Civil War contracts to northern businessmen in returns for patronage jobs and campaign support.

What did Washington mean when he wrote that the maxim "honest is the best policy" should be applied to foreign relation?
tamaranim1 [39]

"Honesty is the best policy" means that it is always best to tell the unvarnished truth. When we apply that to the area of foreign relations, it means that the interests of the US and their opinions on a foreign matter must be clear and said withouth any hessitation. Lying is the best way to lose credibility in the international game, therefore , all the officials must rely on  "true" facts and those are the ones that will be the best way to reach the best solution.
