AP US Government
Unit 5 – Political Participation
Topic 5.1
Why have attempts at campaign finance reform been largely unsuccessful at reducing the influence of money in politics?
Wealthy individuals are constitutionally permitted unlimited donations to any candidate or party.
High expense associated with campaigns necessitates substantial fundraising efforts by candidates and parties.
Political parties have resisted any changes to financial contribution limits.
The Supreme Court has ruled that all such attempts violate the First Amendment.
