Step-by-step explanation:

An interest group is a group with a shared interest, viewpoint, or concern. An organization like this aims to influence public opinion and campaign for its members. Interest organizations include unions, associations, and charities. The common interest group acts indirectly via petitions, protests, reports, and ballots. Political access, the capacity to directly influence government by advising on certain problems or tight relationships with politicians and public workers, identifies the most powerful groups, such as those with the most members or expert authority.
