Individuals and Organizations Have a Constitutional Right to Unlimited Spending on Their Own Political Speech. A Debate
Description
Is independent political speech the linchpin of our democracy or its Achilles' heel? For democracy to work, some argue, citizens-along with corporations, unions, media outlets, and other organizations-must be allowed to spend as much money as they wish to express their views on political candidates and the issues of the day. But others disagree. If every individual and organization can spend as much money as they like to express their views, they argue, the richest people and groups will drown out everyone else. Restrictions on political expression, equalize the political process and prevent the rich from dominating it. Do individuals and organizations have a constitutional right to unlimited spending on their own political speech?
