One significant campaign finance law that influences the political process in the United States is the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA), also known as McCain-Feingold Act. Enacted in 2002, this law aimed to regulate the financing of political campaigns by banning soft money contributions to national political parties and limiting the amount individuals could contribute to candidates. It also set rules for the financing of issue advocacy advertisements. The BCRA significantly impacted how campaigns are funded and shaped the strategies candidates use to mobilize resources during elections. However, subsequent Supreme Court decisions, such as Citizens United v. FEC in 2010, have altered the landscape of campaign finance by allowing for increased spending from corporations and unions, further complicating the political dynamics influenced by the BCRA.
