Answer:
Explanation:
Presidential campaigns are publicly funded because candidates raise funds from the public for their campaigns. There are limits on how much each individual can contribute but there are also ways to get around those limits; such as contributions by Political Action Committees (PACs).
Federal financing will allow candidates to compete on equal financial backing. It also avoids PACs' influences on candidates. The disadvantages include the federal government has to provide the financing with money that can be used elsewhere. It also gives the same financial backing to candidates with little chance to win.
