Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lobbying is the main form of partisanship between elections, as it involves attempting to influence legislators or other decision-makers on specific causes or issues. Wearing political buttons or placing stickers on cars and complaining on talk radio shows are forms of expressing political opinions, but they do not directly influence decision-makers. Political rallies can be a form of lobbying, but they are not the main form. Political payoffs, while unfortunately sometimes used, are illegal and unethical forms of influencing decision-makers.
