Special interests have an incentive to become informed about a policy from which they could receive concentrated benefits.
 
  Since other voters remain rationally ignorant of the policy, the special interests will have considerable influence in the legislature.

Answer to Question 1

Special interests will not likely get everything they want because there are often special interests on both sides of an issue. So even if most voters remain rationally ignorant, special interests who stand to be harmed by the enactment of a policy will devote effort to stopping the policy by imposing political costs on the legislature. Legislators will give the special interests what they want until the marginal political benefit of doing so is equal to the marginal political cost.

Answer to Question 2

B
