Response to the following minimum two paragraphs for each question:
Chapter : Political Parties and Interest Groups
George Wallace said of the two major political parties, "There was not a dime's worth of difference between them." To what was he referring? Does his observation still hold true?
Chapter : Congress
Special interests have great influence over Congress because they support individual members dependent on special interest. Has this relationship caused Congress to become polarized as individual members stake out opposing positions reflecting the policy and positions of rival interest groups? Use the opposing camps regarding gun control or birth control to demonstrate how the rivalry of these interest groups results in polarization within Congress.
