Question

What

are
possible
advantages
to
having so
many
different groups participate in
the
lawmaking process

Answer 1

a big amount of people and groups participating the the lawmaking process might slow it down, but it also makes it more reliable.

The advantage is that it is less likely that a law will be bad in some sense: it's checked by many people and this will make it more likely that any possible mistakes or undesired consequences will be "caught out".

So it ensures a good quality of the laws.
