After the Supreme Court ruling, corporations are permitted to place unlimited money into which type of political committees?

• A. Presidential Campaign Committees
• B. Authorized Committees
• C. Independent Expenditure-Only Committees
• D. General Fund Committees

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that, after the ruling, corporations can spend unlimited amounts on political advocacy as long as the spending is independent of any candidate’s campaign. The format that fits this is independent expenditure-only committees, often called super PACs. These committees can raise and spend unlimited money to advocate for or against candidates, but they cannot coordinate with the candidate’s campaign or donate directly to it. That separation from the campaign is what keeps it as independent expenditure. Presidential Campaign Committees are directly tied to campaigns and face contribution limits; Authorized Committees are the campaign’s own funds and activities, also regulated with limits; General Fund Committees is not a standard category for these purposes.
