Explain why people who represent special interest groups received the name lobbyist

History
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
3 0
Lobbyists, or people who represent special interest groups, are paid to go to legislators and convince them to support their side. Nowadays it can be done through e-mail, calls, and other forms of virtual communications, but back in the day, lobbyists would make their arguments by physically visiting legislators in the lobby of their building.

They would wait there until they found a legislator they wanted to convince and would argue their side for the special interest groups. Because they would wait in these lobbies for the legislators, they were given the name of “lobbyists.”

Which of the following is NOT a true statement about mores?
Katarina [22]

The correct answer is C) Mores are things like saying excuse me when you need to pass someone.

<em>The sentence that is not true about mores is “mores are things like saying excuse me when you need to pass someone.”  </em>

Mores are rules that society sets by tradition, beliefs or heritage. Mores are strict because they establish what is morally correct and what is not. When someone does not apply the social mores, he/she usually is criticized. Mores are considered necessary for the welfare of society, sometimes they became laws, and the violation of mores often are met with harsh penalties. But what is not true about mores is “mores are things like saying excuse me when you need to pass someone.”
