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.”

2. How was the US Constitution modeled on the British idea of government?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

hope you like it

Explanation:

This was a big deal because it introduced the concepts of limited government, rule of law, and due process. It also helped create the nation's Parliament (kind of like Congress in the U.S.). The Magna Carta was a government document that limited the power of the king of England and protected the rights of the nobility.

Inspiration for the U.S. Government

Many political theorists, documents, concepts, and institutions influenced the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Constitution in their assertion of natural individual rights and grounding of political authority in the consent of the governed.
