Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Super PACs were indeed created as a result of the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC in 2010. This decision allowed for unlimited spending by corporations, unions, and individuals in support of political candidates as long as the spending is done independently of the candidate's campaign. Super PACs are independent expenditure-only committees that can spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns.
