Answer to Question 1

An ideal response would be:
Professional association refers to a type of interest group. They represent the social and economic majorities of people who rely on a particular industry or corporation for their jobs and livelihood. States license barbers, beauticians, architects, lawyers, doctors, teachers, accountants, dentists, and many other occupational groups. Such interest groups are naturally interested in the nature of the regulatory laws and the makeup of boards that do the regulating. Medical associations monitor licensing standards for physicians, nurses, and other health professionals, just as legal associations monitor licensing standards for their profession and the appointment of state and local judges.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
If a convention is called, one of the first decisions the delegates need to make is whether they should ask the voters to accept or reject the new constitution as a whole? Or should they vote on each section separately?
The advantage of the first method is that each provision of a constitution ties in with another, and to secure all the advantages of revision, voters should adopt the entire document. The disadvantage is that those who oppose only a particular provision may vote against the entire constitution.
