As early as 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt recognized the need for campaign finance reform and called for legislation to ban corporate contributions for political purposes. In response, Congress enacted several statutes between 1907 and 1966 which, taken together, sought to:
Limit the disproportionate influence of wealthy individuals and special interest groups on the outcome of federal elections;Regulate spending in campaigns for federal office; andDeter abuses by mandating public disclosure of campaign finances.In 1971, Congress consolidated its earlier reform efforts in the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), instituting more stringent disclosure requirements for federal candidates, political parties and political action committees (PACs). Still, without a central administrative authority, the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce.
Following reports of serious financial abuses in the 1972 Presidential campaign, Congress amended the FECA in 1974 to set limits on contributions by individuals, political parties and PACs. The 1974 amendments also established an independent agency, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to enforce the law, facilitate disclosure and administer the public funding program. Congress made further amendments to the FECA in 1976 following a constitutional challenge in the Supreme Court case Buckley v. Valeo; major amendments were also made in 1979 to streamline the disclosure process and expand the role of political parties.
The next set of major amendments came in the form of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA). Among other things, the BCRA banned national parties from raising or spending nonfederal funds (often called "soft money"), restricted so-called issue ads, increased the contribution limits and indexed certain limits for inflation.
Public funding of federal elections originally proposed by President Roosevelt in 1907 began to take shape in 1971 when Congress set up the income tax checkoff to provide for the financing of Presidential general election campaigns and national party conventions. Amendments to the Internal Revenue Code in 1974 established the matching fund program for Presidential primary campaigns.
The FEC opened its doors in 1975 and administered the first publicly funded Presidential election in 1976.
Hope this helps.
Answer: Texas v. Johnson
Explanation:
The Texas v. Johnson court case allowed someone to burn the United States of America flag protected as symbolic speech under the First Amendment right.
The First Amendment goes as follows:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The aspect of this piece that relates to your question is "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech." Even though burning the flag may seem aggressive or unnecessary to some, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision in favor of Johnson, saying his actions were protected.
B) Public order
C) Property
D) Person
The correct answer is B.
Vagrancy happens when a seemingly homeless person wanders from one place to another without a purpose. Vagrants usually live in poverty and support themselves by begging, temporary work, theft, garbage scrapping, collecting waste and sometimes welfare.
The word vagrant derives from Latin vagari which means 'wander'.
Vagrancy is a crime against public order ( together with disorderly conduct ).
These are usually trivial types of public misconduct with a relatively low-level punishment. Public order offenses include among many others : public drinking, loitering, aggressive begging in the streets.
A known fact is the discretion of the police while acting against public order offences. Such laws are often not even formally enforced. The offenders are told to put an end to their activities without any further actions. It is done because of the human touch factor here - the offenders are often victims of unfairness and injustice in the society.
(2)a proposal to repeal the Emancipation Proclamation
(3)reduction of the army and the navy to prewar levels
(4)congressional efforts to pay the Confederate war debt
The correct answer is 1) The plans for restoring Southern states to the Union.
After the Civil War, the era of Reconstruction began. One of the biggest issues on the table was how were the former Confederate States going to rejoin the Union. There was two very different sides to this story.
Radical Republicans wanted to punish the former Confederate States for causing the Civil War. They wanted harsh financial and political punishments. However, Andrew Johnson did not want to harshly punish the former Confederate States. Rather, he wanted them to rejoin the United States as soon as possible.
