A few of the significant changes is our spine, and also we used to have a tail.
The excerpt mentions central government and the states but does not speak (except by mentioning) of executive branch or amendments, so we reject options 2) and 4).
Among options 1 and 3: 3 speaks of central government having the power over the states, which is the opposite of what the text says: it stresses how much power should stay with the states.
So the correct option is 1)
The answer is: D. because interest groups demand that they are heard on certain issues
Interest groups are known for their advocacy on certain issues in which they have concerns, opinions or ideas. These groups have a major influence on public opinion, policy creation and modification.
With that in mind, it would beneficial for legislators <u>to ask interest groups for their help in shaping public policy since they speak for what the large part the community demands.</u>
