Sažetak
Recognizing the importance of lobbying in modern democratic countries and its inevitability in the decisions-making process from the lower - local, to the highest levels of authority, the authors display lobbying in the United States, starting from the fact that United States have early recognized the importance of lobbying and its regulation, aiming to decrease transparency. In this way, the authors go through relevant provisions of legal acts regulating the legal position of the lobbyist from
the very beginnings to the present day, following and analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, and in particular the context of social reality as an impetus for further legislation. In this context, there is also a relationship between politics and lobbying, as well as the relationship of lobbying and fundamental human rights contained in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
