Answer 1

The correct option is B introduced campaign finance reform by limiting soft-money contributions to political parties and prohibiting advocacy ads.

The McCain-Feingold Bill introduced campaign finance reform by limiting soft-money contributions to political parties and prohibiting advocacy ads. McCain-Feingold was created to prohibit soft money contributions to national political parties, and limited campaign financing to hard money. Soft money is unlimited funding collected by political parties intended for party strengthening, while hard money is donations directly made to a candidate’s campaign.
