Any increase in lobbying regulations conflicts with:
  1. The First Amendment’s right to petition.
  2. The Fourteenth Amendment’s due process clause
  3. Ninth Amendment provisions on individual rights.
  4. The Fairness Doctrine
  5. Griggs v. Hartwick
Explanation
Answer: A - Any increase in lobbying regulations conflicts with the First Amendment’s right to petition. This amendment guarantees citizens the right to petition the government. This is essentially what interest group lobbying is-petitioning the government. As a result, you can’t really regulate lobbying. The closest thing to regulation allowed is requiring lobbyists to register and report their meetings with policymakers, so it is at least public.
