I believe the most important influence is interest groups because they play a vital role in shaping government policy and advocating for the needs of specific groups of people.
This influence can be both good and bad. On one hand, interest groups provide essential representation for marginalized communities and ensure their voices are heard in the political process. However, they can also lead to the distortion of policy decisions in favor of powerful or well-funded interest groups. Ultimately, the impact of interest groups on the U.S. government depends on their motivations and the extent of their influence.
