Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Companies have been permitted to contribute to political action committees since the mid-1970s, specifically through the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 and the subsequent amendments that allowed for the creation of political action committees (PACs) in 1974. Prior to this, corporate contributions to political campaigns and candidates were illegal under U.S. law.
