Money, Politics & the U.S Constitution

The New England Legal Foundation cordially invites you to attend a civic briefing in-person or via Zoom as part of our Economic Liberty Speaker Series

Money, Politics, and the U.S. Constitution

Seven out of ten Americans believe our democracy is threatened, and the number one reason (identified by 86% of Republicans and 86% of Democrats) is the "influence of money in politics." How did our country come to have a campaign finance system that everyone knows is dysfunctional, and what can be done about it?

In this session, we will explore a fundamental question: Who should decide whether and how to regulate money in our campaigns and elections? We will learn about the process of amending the U.S. Constitution to empower the States and Congress to choose whether and how to regulate money-in-politics. Join us to learn about this issue and why it matters to the legal and business communities.
