Zepler [3.9K]

We pick question number 2.

Interest groups & political parties shape American politics in that both are powerful and influential groups that are led by smart leaders who have convictions and have tried to influence the public opinion of the American people throughout history.

Their presence has marked significant moments in important decisions that have shaped the history of the United States.

However, we have to say both groups are different in nature and use different techniques. Let's say they are different in nature.

> Political parties are formed by a group of people with similar approaches to political life and create platforms aimed to help the conditions of the citizens.

> The two most dominant political parties in the United States are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

> US citizens vote for their candidates to be their representatives in US Congress and create important laws based on people's needs and concerns.

> On the other hand, the main purpose of interest groups is to influence Congressmen to create the kind of legislation that can favor their political and economic interests.

> Many times, these interest groups hire the services of lobbyists to negotiate with legislators in Washington D.C.

Some examples of interest groups in the United States are:

- the American Bankers Association.

- the United Farm Workers of America.

- the National Association of Manufacturers.
