Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1971 passage refers to the Federal Election Campaign Act, which established the first comprehensive system of regulation and disclosure for federal campaign finance. McCain-Feingold, also known as the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, was passed in 2002 and made some significant changes to campaign finance regulation, but it did not represent as sweeping a change as the 1971 law. The Buckley and Progressive Acts do not refer to campaign finance regulation. The Public Affairs Act is not a real piece of legislation.
