Solution

Interest groups play a vital role in the political process of U.S.A. The main objective of every interest group is to represent the interest of the general public. Interest groups are the organizations that have a particular policy objective in mind. They try to influence policy goals by working or funding the political parties.

Interest group these days are hindering the democracy because they no longer represent the interest of general public rather they push policies which helps them earn more. They have become more important than the general public and also the political parties. Such a situation is not good for democracy.
