Question

which statements apply to the financing of a political campaign and the laws controlling it? select all that apply. individual donors can contribute up to a set amount and no more. limits are never placed on how much a pac can donate. campaigns are financed by public and private donations. finance laws keep voters from learning who donated to a campaign. finance laws require that donors and the amounts given be identified.

Explanation:

• Individual donors can contribute up to a set amount and no more: In the United States, for example, there are Federal Election Commission (FEC) - set limits on individual contributions to a candidate in a given election cycle.
• Campaigns are financed by public and private donations: Many political campaigns receive both public funds (in some cases, like for presidential primaries and general elections under certain conditions) and private donations from individuals, PACs, etc.
• Finance laws require that donors and the amounts given be identified: Campaign finance disclosure laws (such as those in the US) mandate that campaigns report donor information (name, address, amount donated) to regulatory bodies, and this information is often made public.

• Limits are never placed on how much a PAC can donate: This is false. There are limits on PAC donations to candidates (e.g., in the US, a PAC can donate a set amount per candidate per election).
• Finance laws keep voters from learning who donated to a campaign: This is false. As mentioned above, disclosure laws are in place to make donor information known (with some exceptions for small - dollar donations in some cases, but generally, major donors are identified).

Answer:

Individual donors can contribute up to a set amount and no more, Campaigns are financed by public and private donations, Finance laws require that donors and the amounts given be identified.
