Address the following concepts and questions. Remember that these questions are only a guide to your essay, and while you should thoroughly answer them, you should also feel free to move beyond these questions in your discussion of lobbying. What role do interest groups play in legislative behavior, both collectively and individually? What strategies do interest groups use when lobbying Congress? What role do congressional committees play in the lobbying process? Consider lobbying through the lens of a Biblical model of statesmanship. Acceptable sources include the Bible, and scholarly journal articles.
