<u>Answer:</u>
The debate about granting the Philippines independence almost prevented the Treaty of Paris from being ratified.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- Amidst the engagements being carried out for the accomplishment of the 'Treaty of Paris', the Congress was deliberately discussing over the issue of granting the Philippines independence.
- There was a hot debate going on as the 'Treaty of Paris' included certain clauses that pertained to the US government paying $20 million to Spain for ceding the Philippines to US.
- If the United States would have paid Spain the predetermined amount of compensation, granting 'independence to the Philippines' would have become more difficult.
Lobbying efforts are directed primarily at the national level: committees of Congress that consider legislation, administrative agencies that are responsible for writing or enforcing regulations, and executive departments. Lobbyists depend on their personal relationships with members of Congress and the executive branch, which are based on keeping in regular contact. Many lobbyists have served in government themselves. This means they have worked, in some cases for years, with the very people they are now lobbying, and this experience gives them invaluable insights into how things are accomplished in Washington.
