question 6 of 10
which situation is the best illustration of effective political advocacy?
a. the democratic party increased voter registrations in several cities during the last election.
b. in the 1800s, the antislavery movement forced the government to take the issue of abolition seriously.
c. the house of representatives and the senate worked together to pass an annual federal budget.
d. in 2015, the supreme court upheld the legality of the affordable care act.

Explanation:

Political advocacy involves influencing political decisions and policies. The anti - slavery movement in the 1800s was a long - term and effective effort to change government stance on a major social and political issue (abolition of slavery). Increasing voter registrations is more about party mobilization, passing a budget is a normal legislative function, and a Supreme Court decision is a legal ruling, not political advocacy.

Answer:

B. In the 1800s, the antislavery movement forced the government to take the issue of abolition seriously.
