Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Business, union, trade, or professional interest groups have the most resources and political influence due to their ability to make substantial financial contributions, employ lobbyists, and have a large membership base. They also have the ability to mobilize their members to vote in a cohesive manner. Civil rights, public interest, educational, and environmental groups may have a strong moral or ethical basis for their advocacy, but they typically have fewer financial resources and less political influence than business or professional interest groups.
