Do you think interest groups should be allowed to influence government? Or do
you think that there are issues with this? Why? Please help me!!!
Answer:
Interest groups have both their opponents and supporters. The critics maintain that they only give those who have considerable wealth and power additional political influence and that the tactics used and the money available corrupts the political process. The defenders argue, on the other hand, that the system is much more open than in the past and point to the effective lobbying that groups representing women, minorities, and older adults are able to do. They claim that instances of corruption are the rare exceptions, and they champion interest groups as a vehicle for Americans to petition the government. As in other areas, however, this First Amendment guarantee is not absolute. The courts have ruled that limitations on lobbying are legitimate because its goal is to directly influence legislation.
Controls over lobbying
Lobbyists are required to register with the clerk of the House and the secretary of the Senate and indicate what group they are representing, the amount of their salary or compensation, and what types of expenses are reimbursed to them. They also have to file quarterly financial statements. These controls, which admittedly have not been effective in limiting abuse, date from the 1946 Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act. In addition, lobbyists who represent foreign governments or corporations must register with the Justice Department as agents of those countries.
Congress has also attempted to slow down the so-called "revolving door" by which an official begins to lobby his or her colleagues immediately after leaving a government position. Under the 1978 Ethics in Government Act, senior executive branch officials cannot lobby federal agencies on a matter that fell within their scope of responsibility for two years after leaving government service. In addition, they are prohibited from lobbying anyone in their former agency 1) on any issue for one year and 2) forever on matters that they were involved in.
The success of lobbyists depends on their personal ties with those in government. Those relationships were often cemented with gifts that could range from tickets to a football game to weekends at resort hotels. Reforms adopted in 1995, banned all gifts to members of the House and put limits on the value of gifts to senators. The legislation also required lobbyists to disclose the issues and bills they worked on and the branches of government they contacted. Stricter rules regarding lobbying were also adopted by Congress in 2007 in response to highly publicized scandals. The Senate now bars all gifts from lobbyists, lobbyists are required to disclose payments to organizations controlled by or named for a member of Congress, and "bundled" contributions from lobbyists are more closely scrutinized.
Control of political action committees
Many Americans are concerned with the amount of money PACs raise and give to candidates. The public interest group Common Cause believes PACs should be abolished altogether. Short of this step, there are proposals to reduce the amount of money an individual PAC can contribute to a candidate or the total amount the candidate can accept from all PACs. Expanding federal financing of elections to include congressional races or making some provision for the government to underwrite certain types of campaign expenses would also limit the importance of PACs. For obvious reasons, Congress has not been very willing to tackle this problem.

not win.

Local South Carolinians attempt to assist Major General Horatio Gates and his soldiers during the Battle of Camden by joining in battle, but their numbers could not withstand the British force.
Major General Horatio Gates achievement in the Battle of Saratoga is a turning point by defeating the British army during the American Revolution. The Battle of Camden was a success for the British army.During the war, patriots were in advantage with their troop numbers of 4000.But only about 3,000 Patriots were well enough to fight the battle.Major of the volunteer were farmers and artisans who were willing to fight for their freedom and rights from Britishers.Therefore we can conclude that South Carolinians joined the troops.
Thus option A. is correct answer.

evidence:
this is from a middle school textbook:
''He ignored advice from locals to march the Continental army through rich farmland where Patriot support was high and soldiers could easily get food.
Instead, he marched the troops through a swampy, thickly forested area with many Loyalists. Heat and humidity, along with a diet of peaches, apples, and green corn, made many of the soldiers sick."

Why would the Framers of the U.S. Constitution give the power of making laws the
legislative Branch instead of the executive Branch?
Answer:
The framers of the Constitution understood from an experienced point of view the problem of allowing any one man or group to have unyielding power. To ensure such tyranny did not become part of the new government they instituted numerous checks on the power of the government. The limitations placed upon each was twofold. It required the partitions of the federal government to work in concert according to the mandates of the people and it ensured no portion of the government had the power to trample individual liberty.
The three branches of the government have different and if unchecked vastly powerful divisions of the government. The Executive Branch, consisting of the governing officials such as the President are controlled by the people through the vote as well as the other two branches. This limits the ability of the President to make decrees outside the bounds of the Constitution. This was a very real concern of the founders having experienced the oppression of the British Crown.
The Legislative Branch, made up of Congress has the power of the purse. By controlling the federal budget and enacting legislation the group could quickly overwhelm the public with burdensome mandates. They are controlled via the vote, and the other two branches to control their power.
Finally the Judicial Branch, the courts have power to send innocent people to jail. This was perhaps the second greatest concern of the founders. Some courts are held in check by direct vote, but even those appointed are subject to disciplinary measures if they are found to act outside their jurisdiction. Another key aspect in controlling courts is the Executive ability to grant pardons.
The balancing act the federal government is forced to endure certainly slows down the process and deliberately so. The government was designed to be slow to act to ensure no one's rights were violated. Ultimately the states as a collective have a check over the federal system as well through the ability to amend the Constitution when needed. The founders knew that two heads were better than one and a hundred were better than two. They compromised on speed, but took security in the thought that a slow right was better than a quick wrong.
