Best Answer

The American people (US citizens) are generally well informed in relevance to their time.

Another words, during the 1860s in the US, most Americans were more informed about the US Civil War since they had to live thru it. At the same time, they would have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about the Vietnam War, since they didn't live in the 1960s.

Bottom line: Americans living in the 1860s would be generally knowledgeable about the 1860s, Americans living in the 1960s would be generally knowledgeable about the 1960s, etc.

What factors limit the influence of public opinion on the policy choices of government officials?

Influence on public opinion can be limited by how informed voters are. Even though what the people think is heard, officials do not take it as a final decision. As a nation we trust elected officials to make the right choice. Americans can also have opinions that are against the truths of an issue. For example, environmentalists pay closer attention to laws that affect our environment.
