Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss the benefits of accepting public financing. For instance, public funds did provide enough money to run campaigns. It was also possible to stick to spending limits because other entities such as political parties, interest groups, unions, and corporations could all spend money on the campaigns as well.
2, Discuss how candidates such as Barack Obama have refused public funding because of the ability to raise large sums of money. Without this restriction, candidates can raise much more money than if they accepted public funding.
