In McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, the US Supreme Court found limits on aggregate individual contributions (i. e., aggregate limits on political giving by an individual) to be unconstitutional. However, the court left intact the limits an individual can make to an individual campaign. Why did the court do this?

Cis the answer i pretty sure

You're asking in the ap section, so i'll give the ap calculus-style answer. alternatively, you can find the vertex of the parabola and use the "y"-coordinate as the answer.

the maximum height can occur at a critical number, that is, a number  such that  .

the derivative of  can be calculated as follows:



find a value of  that is a zero of the derivative:


this is parabola that is opening downward; we can assume there is a maximum at  .

to find that maximum, calculate  .
