Welcome!

PACs Political Action Committees are a political entity first emerging in the 1940s and really becoming a major force to be reconned with for campaigns. Citizens United versus The Federal Elections Commission is our court case that pertains to a Political Action Committee. We will be discussing them and doing an assignment that looks at campaign finance for both soft and hard money and who can give what.

Federalism Inquiry We have covered federalism a few times now, we have another inquiry pertaining to the concept as we are about to start Unit Eight with the Inquiry. Unit Eight will be focused on what the state government set up is like and local, as well as how those components are different (and similar) to our federal structures.
