Asked by ELLEN

i have to do a research paper for journalism class. It has to be something that has to do with washington, d.c. but the topic cant be too generalo. it has to be something specific that i will be able to write 1,500 to 3,00 words. Also, the topic has to answer a "WHY" question. can you help me think of some good topics. I am drawing mind blank.

Why are there so many lobbyists in Washington, D.C.?

Why do presidents choose a cabinet?

Other tutors may have some other ideas.

If you read the articles linked and any external links on those Wikipedia webpages, you'll undoubtedly be able to come up with other questions.
