Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how following the passage of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1974, money was collected voluntarily from federal tax returns. This money provides matching funds to presidential candidates who agree to certain spending limits.
2, Discuss how Obama refused matching funds because it would have severely limited the amount of money he spent during the campaigns. Candidates now spend many times the amount they would have spent had they accepted matching funds.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how frontloading is the movement of states to hold their primaries earlier in the electoral process to generate greater influence over the nomination.
2, Discuss how states that hold early primaries have a disproportionate amount of influence compared to those that hold their primaries later.
3, Indicate that candidates will spend a great deal of time in states with early primaries and less time in those that hold late primaries.
4, Note that moving the primaries earlier contributes to the sense that the presidential campaign is lengthening.
