Why do House members and senators tend to be less active on foreign policy matters than domestic ones?

Foreign policy matters are more technical and difficult.
Legislators do not want to offend certain immigrant groups within their constituency.
Constituents are more directly affected by domestic policy topics than foreign ones.
Legislators themselves are not interested in foreign policy matters.

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Constituents are more directly affected by domestic policy topics than foreign ones, is the right answer.

Subject to the consultation and acquiescence role of the Senate of the United States, the U.S. President consults treaties with foreign countries, but agreements came into force only if the two-thirds members of the Senate ratifies it. But it is generally observed that the House members and senators are less active in the matters related to foreign policy than the domestic ones, this is due to the fact that Constituents are more undeviatingly influenced by domestic policy issues than foreign ones.
