Explanation:

In political science, the special-interest theory of government tries to explain why governments regulate something the way they do. According to this theory, different actors try to get the government to regulate things in a way that favors them, or that at least doesn't put major restraints on them. Major businesses, by virtue of their economic power, are better positioned to influence government officials than regular citizens, who only have their votes. These business groups will assert their influence either by lobbying or by contributing money to political campaigns, in the understanding that candidates will repay them by passing policies that will benefit their businesses, especially by changing government regulations.
