Then, identify a group in the United States that had grievances with its treatment by one or more federal agencies, in the past or at present, and demanded policy change. You can construe groups broadly; a racial or ethnic minority, an economically disadvantaged group, and people disproportionally impacted by a natural disaster, among others, are all acceptable. Articulate this groups grievance by specifying the laws, regulations, or their implementation that the group saw as inadequate, unfair, or unjust. How did the group, as a political principal, seek to bring about policy change by influencing Congress, executive agencies, or both? How did Congress and/or executive agencies meet the groups demands? What fundamental problems of delegation in principal-agent relationships does this episode reveal?
