The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government cannot restrict spending on elections by organizations or individuals.

Answer: The correct answer is : The supreme court of the United States decided to invalidate a federal law that placed limits and restricted the electoral expenses of companies.

Explanation: Candidates in elections can spend whatever they want. The political action committees give limited amounts to the candidates and their parties but they have absolute freedom to spend whatever they want. There are also non-profit groups and committees that raise unlimited amounts of money.
