Question 17

• Option a: Interest groups often lobby Congress by meeting with representatives to explain their position on a bill, which aligns with gaining support for a proposed law.
• Option b: Donating to a President's re - election campaign is not directly related to gaining support for a law in Congress.
• Option c: Presenting in lawsuits is related to the judicial branch, not Congress.
• Option d: Endorsing a state legislature candidate doesn't directly help gain support for a federal law in Congress.

• Option a: A liberal (Democratic) ideology generally supports government action to address income inequality, so this is a conservative - leaning statement.
• Option b: Liberal (Democratic) ideology often supports gun control as a means to reduce crime, so this is a liberal - leaning statement.
