Campaign Finance
How US election campaigns are funded, including the role of individual donations, PACs, Super PACs, and the ongoing debate about whether money corrupts the democratic process.
Real World
In the 2024 election cycle, Super PACs raised over $2 billion, with Elon Musk's America PAC spending approximately $250 million supporting Donald Trump — spending that faced no legal cap following Citizens United.
Exam Focus
Always cite Citizens United v FEC (2010) by name when discussing Super PACs — examiners specifically reward this case reference.
