Question

what is a difference between a pac and a super pac?
pacs can contribute directly to candidates, but super pacs cannot.
conservative interests favor pacs over super pacs.
contributions to pacs are unlimited, but restrictions have been placed on how much money can be contributed to super pacs.
super pacs are much more likely to support incumbent candidates than are pacs.

Explanation:

A Political Action Committee (PAC) can contribute directly to candidates, adhering to Federal Election Commission (FEC) limits. A Super PAC (Independent Expenditure Only Committee) cannot contribute directly to candidates. Instead, it can spend unlimited funds on independent political activities like ads, as long as it doesn't coordinate with candidates. The other options are incorrect: Conservative interests don't uniformly favor PACs over Super PACs; PACs have contribution limits (Super PACs have unlimited contributions from donors); and there's no evidence Super PACs are more likely to support incumbents than PACs.

Answer:

PACs can contribute directly to candidates, but super PACs cannot.
