Question 5 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

If super political action committees (PACs) cannot donate directly to political campaigns, how do they best support the campaigns?

Answer
A
They run negative campaigns against opponents.
B
They pay for goods and services that can be donated.
C
They run independent campaigns in support of candidates.
D
They lobby Congress in support of candidates.

Explanation

Super PACs may spend unlimited amounts on political messages, but they cannot donate directly to candidates or coordinate their spending with a campaign. They can therefore support a candidate by running independent advertisements or other campaigns in that candidate’s favor. So the best answer is “They run independent campaigns in support of candidates.”
