E5: Practice Questions

1. Interest groups are used to support certain ideals and opinions in government. They are there to show congress people that there is a group of people who care about these issues, and want to do something to change.
2. Political Parties are there to produce a candidate that they deem as portraying their political ideas. They also appeal to the masses on all ideas and do not focus on just one policy to work on. 
3. Interest Groups can appeal to political parties through bribery and other gifts. Also, they can protest and send letters to congress. For example, giving gifts to people of congress to "help" them pick their side in policy. 
4. They can Protest issues in a calm and organized matter to show that there are people who do care about this issue. Also they can do write ins (like Amnesty does). Groups of people who agree or disagree on a policy can come together and write letters to congress to help influence them.
