James Madison's solution to the problem of factions (special interests) has, in the modern policy process, actually contributed to the problem by doing what?
a. suppressing the claims of special interests, thereby making it more difficult for them to get their opinions heard by officials.
b. resulting in a fragmentation of authority among policymakers, and thereby providing groups more opportunities to get their way.
c. eroding the strength of political parties, and thereby increasing the opportunity for group influence.
d. weakening the legislative branch, and thereby allowing groups to bully Congress into accepting their demands.
e. eroding the power of the mass media, and thereby increasing the opportunity for group influence.
