Définition

  • Lobbying might be defined as an attempt to influence the government decision-making process and to secure certain outcomes via individuals or firms (lobbyists) who act on behalf of a person or a special interest group. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution bars Congress from abridging the right of people “to petition the government for redress of grievances.” Thus, for Americans, lobbying in the broadest sense of the word is a fundamental legal right.
