Please use the following to answer question 2.This excerpt is from a speech given by Ronald Reagan on January 20, 1981.
From time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.
We hear much of special interest groups. Our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected. It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and our factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we are sick—professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truckdrivers. They are, in short, "We the people," this breed called Americans.
Government by an elite group is superior to self-rule.
Self-rule can be challenging, but it is the best type of government.
Society is too complex to be managed by self-rule
Most people are not capable of governing themselves, so there's no way they could help govern a country.
In the above passage who is Reagan referring to when he mentions a "special interest group that has been too long neglected."?
Truck drivers
Political Parties
Lobbyists
the American people
