What a Contribution Limit Is and Who Sets It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A contribution limit is the maximum amount a person or organization may give to a political candidate or committee under campaign-finance law.

The 10th Amendment defines the division of budget authority between the federal government and the states by reserving powers not delegated to the federal government to the states or the people, thereby limiting federal control over state spending decisions.
