Document Summary

Representatives for what political actors do within a political system: In the parliamentary system, interest groups will try to take power over the prime minister. With congressional systems, there are multiple access points because it does not just stop at the president and organizations can try to get access from multiple points. Log-rolling: because the government is less disciplined in the u. s, there needs to be bargains made during policy making to get every state"s support to pass it through but this causes them to fulfill the other state"s favors. Because of this, there is a higher budget is the reason for why the military has bases in almost every state in the u. s. This will not change because, if a politician steps down from this process, there will be the closing down of companies, military bases and eventually a loss of jobs for both politicians and civilians and no one wants that.
