An inquiry contract for an English paper about lobbing that I wrote and quite like

When in the course of the high school curriculum, it becomes necessary for one person to dissolve the bands of sanity that connect her to the world, and to assume among the Powers of her mind, the insane and irrational station to which the Teachers of English and of Proponents of Research assign her, a decent respect to the knowledge of teacherkind requires that she should declare the topics which are focused on by her research.*

The topic that I will be researching extensively and exhaustingly is lobbying. The right to lobby is set out in a document written a couple of years after the one mentioned under a citizen’s right to petition. I’m going to find how this right to petition is swaying government policy today and how. My position might change a bit when I’m less ignorant of what lobbying actually is.

From reading the Opinions section of the Chicago Tribune fairly frequently, I can gather that lobbying is the efforts of outside influence to influence government legislation. I also know that the current My Pyramid, the guide for a healthy, nutritional diet that our government had created, was influenced by lobbyists and is incorrect. The first fact I believe I can call general knowledge, as dictionary definitions often are. The second fact is the knowledge of at least everyone in my health class, as our teacher has repeated it often enough for the almost sleeping kids to understand. I expect to find that lobbyists have influenced many more government policies on behalf of their special interest groups, and also that some lobbying has positively affected legislation.

One must approach research as a way to answer the questions posed by a lack of knowledge. I would like to know the extent of lobbyist influence on the government and proposed methods of removing corruption from the lobbyists, or if that can’t be helped, removing lobbyists from government.

I do indeed have background knowledge on this topic, but nothing more than any responsible underage citizen would have. Never have I ever researched this topic extensively for a paper or any other sort of formal writing. I super promise. †

*This paragraph heavily influenced by the Declaration of Independence, which rests in the public domain
