Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2009) was a U.S. Supreme Court decision that had a direct impact on campaign finance legislation. The Court ruled the government may not prevent corporations or unions from donating money to political organizations. While they may not donate money directly to candidates' campaigns, they may donate to political action committees (PACs) to campaign on behalf of (or against) specific candidates. This ruling gave rise to the super PAC-a political action committee with previously unprecedented financial resources advocating the political agenda of elite, wealthy citizens who had the financial means to fund such an organization.
