Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Highlight the role of individuals, political action committees (PACs), independent expenditures, coordinated expenditures, and the types of money (soft, hard, and public) for campaign finance.
2, Discuss one or more current laws and/or court cases that are directly related to regulating campaign finance, such as the Federal Election Campaign Act (1971), the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (2002), and Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission (2010).
3, Make an argument for whether or not an absolute limit should be set on spending.
