Question 15

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: The 1974 Federal Election Campaign Act did create the Federal Election Commission and set contribution limits for individuals and committees to candidates. This matches historical facts.
• Option 2: The act did not limit candidates' own money spending (later court cases and other laws addressed spending limits in different ways, and this act's main focus was on contributions, not candidate self - funding limits).
• Option 3: The act was about regulating, not giving unlimited spending rights to voters.
• Option 4: There were earlier laws regulating federal election financial contributions.

• Define each term:
• Trustee: A person who holds something in trust, not related to being an office - holder.
• Constituent: A person represented by an elected official, not the office - holder.
• Incumbent: The current holder of an office.
• Delegate: A person sent to represent others, not the current office - holder.

Answer:

A. created the Federal Election Commission and placed limits on the sums that individuals and committees can contribute to candidates.
