The "Iron Triangle"- AP Government
Interest Group
Gather electoral support for a congressional candidate by encouraging to vote or money to the candidate. If elected, fund and provide political support to a government agency which will then have low regulation, and special favors.
Congress
Provide legislation either friendly or oversight to a interest group. The interest group would then provide congressional support and be a lobbyist and the Bureaucracy would then be funded. The Bureaucracy would then carry out the laws of congress.
The "Iron Triangle"
The relationship between congress(especially Sub-Committees), Government agencies(Bureaucracy), and interest groups. This helps create policy in the United States and all 3 parts want to protect their own self interests.
Bureaucracy
a system of government in which most of the important decisions are made by state officials rather than by elected representatives.
