Correct answers:
- It removed the monetary limits that corporations and individuals can spend to independently influence an election.
- It increased the amount of money spent on elections.
- It resulted in a small number of wealthy individuals having undue influence in elections.
Brief explanation: Citizens United (2010) held that corporations and unions have a First Amendment right to make independent political expenditures, which led to unlimited independent spending (and the rise of Super PACs and “dark money” groups). It did not change individual contribution limits to candidates nor directly prohibit disclosure of donors.
