Campaign Finance

Supporting key Social Studies curriculum, this anthology tackles a contentious subject in American politics: campaign finance. Readers will gain a complete perspective through essays and articles that expose varying viewpoints. Readers will evaluate whether the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act is necessary, whether reform stifles free speech, how the Millionaire's Amendment factors in, and who is most hurt by reform.
