Description

The Constitution and Campaign Finance Reform: An Anthology 2nd Edition Frederick G. Slabach ISBN 9780890894248

This updated edition brings together the work of leading critics and defenders of constitutional jurisprudence on campaign finance. Contributors include scholars, judges, reform advocates, and practitioners, such as prominent law professors, former regulators, public interest leaders, and federal judges, offering a wide range of perspectives on one of the most contested areas of constitutional law.

The volume addresses key issues including whether money should be treated as speech, the nature of compelling state interests that might justify governmental regulation, and alternative frameworks for regulating campaign finance. It also incorporates analysis of major legal and legislative developments, including the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (commonly known as McCain-Feingold), the Supreme Court’s 2003 decision in McConnell v. FEC, and the role of organizations formed under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The materials are organized to allow instructors to integrate a campaign finance module into existing courses in Constitutional Law, Election Law, First Amendment, or Political Science, or to support the creation of a stand-alone course devoted entirely to campaign finance law and policy.
