Nix v. McCausland

Nix v. McCausland was a court case involving the First Amendment, which protects free speech. The case centered on whether government officials can limit political donations or activities to prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption. The Supreme Court ruled that limits on political donations are acceptable as long as they are designed to prevent corruption or its appearance. This decision clarified that reasonable restrictions on political contributions are consistent with free speech rights, balancing the interest in preventing corruption with individuals' First Amendment freedoms.
