Federal Election Funding Changes: End of Private Contributions?

A proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution aims to limit the influence of money in federal elections. If adopted, financial expenditures for campaigns would no longer be considered protected speech. Congress could establish a mandatory public financing system, which would be the sole source of funds in federal elections, potentially changing how candidates raise money and how citizens engage in the electoral process.
