What happened in McCutcheon v FEC 2014?

Author: harry challinor



Answer:

The Supreme Court struck down limits on individual campaign contributions, ruling that federal limits on combined donations to candidates, parties and PACs were an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. - Chief Justice John Roberts ruled that Congress 'may not... regulate contributions simply to reduce the amount of money in politics, or to restrict the political participation of some in order to enhance the relative influence of others'
