Campaign Finance Reform
[ send me this essay ]
(5pp). In 1974 Congress passed a set of laws that changed the amount of money which could be donated to an individual campaign. Contributions to candidates are now limited to $1,000, per contributor, that's called hard money. But of course many people and organizations, including special interest groups such as defense contractors, the gambling industry, organized labor have more money that they would like to spend on politics than they can get to candidates in $1,000 increments. So they give much larger amounts to advocacy groups, political action committees and the political party. That is called soft money. Not much else has happened in the last 25 years of discussion. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Chicago Mayor R. J. Daley
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Richard J. Daley held Chicago's mayoral position from 1955 to 1976 and remains one of the windy city's most famous elected officials to date. While this distinction has earned him a place within the annals of Chicago's history, the manner by which Daley approached his mayoral tasks has long been considered less than equitable to all racial and ethnic groups. The difference of fifty years is clearly illustrated by the way that blacks accommodated to Chicago politics during the 1950s, whereas Chicago politics had to ultimately accommodate to blacks during the 1970s. Clearly, the social aspect represented the greater significance in Chicago's development under Daley's reign. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
