Answer to Question 1

standing

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how inequalities exist, meaning that there is an upper class or corporate bias in the interest group system in America.
2, Discuss how there are representational inequalities. Business and trade organizations dominate lobbying activity in numbers and influence.
3, Discuss how there are resource inequalities that favor business, financial, and corporate interests.Because of their resource advantage, these interests can hire expensive lobbying firms, they can influence legislation in their favor, they can form political action committees, and corporation and unions can now spend virtually unlimited funds on elections following the Citizens United decision.
4, Explain that there are access inequalities because some interests have former government officials working for them, they have employees with expertise in policies that affect them, and those with access tend to protect their own access while keeping others out of the process.
5, Describe how businesses are in a privileged position given the above advantages. Some have even argued that their influence undermines democracy.
