Among other things, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as the McCain-Feingold Act, placed a ban on corporate funding of independent political broadcasts aimed at electing or defeating particular candidates. This provision is known as the "electioneering communications" ban.

Answer: A
 The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act also outlawed candidates and political parties from broadcasting any election-related advertisements within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary election. This provision was meant to reduce the influence of money in politics and prevent last-minute negative campaign ads.

B) and C) are both incorrect because the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act did not eliminate all public financing previously available to candidates, nor did it provide public financing to all candidates. It did, however, make some changes to the public financing system for presidential elections.
