Assignment Instructions

Discuss lobbying reforms, including the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 , and efforts under the Obama and Trump administrations. Make an argument as to how effective or ineffective these efforts were, either practically or politically. Support assertions with facts and data. Essays should be 500-600 words in length, not including repetition of the question, Lobbying Disclosure Act and Campaign Reform Act, or reference list.

Essays should be written in third person perspective. The goal is to create a scholarly argument by presenting a thesis statement and then providing evidence to support that position. "I think, I feel, I believe" and "in my opinion" should appear nowhere in the essay. Personal opinions are not necessary and may weaken your argument.
