Explanation:

1. Candidates often choose to raise their own funds if they think they can amass a larger amount independently. Public funds usually come with restrictions and set amounts. If a candidate has a strong network or fundraising ability, they might opt for self - fundraising to have more financial resources at their disposal.
2. Campaign finance legislation that limits bundling is often supported because bundling (where one person collects multiple small donations and gives them as a large sum) can give wealthy individuals or those with access to many donors an excessive amount of influence. By limiting bundling, the aim is to reduce the disproportionate power of a few wealthy or well - connected individuals over the political process.

Answer:

1. B. because they believe they can raise more money independently
2. B. Bundling allows wealthy individuals to have too much influence over elected officials.
