Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book leverages historical references to argue for increasing government regulation of campaign spending at the federal and state levels. The author starts by establishing the problem of corporate money and undue influence in politics as it existed in the 19th century, with references to statements by President Jackson and frequent use of the English Corrupt Practices Act of 1883 as a model. The author also reviews the history of the fifteen states that passed Corrupt Practices Acts between the years 1890 and 1897. The author suggests that corporations and shadowy interests have too much influence over elections and proposes that publicity and regulation of political spending are remedies to the issue. This book offers a valuable examination of campaign finance reform and will appeal to anyone interested in the history and importance of election law.
