Answer

Buckley v. Valeo was a landmark legal case in which Senator Joseph McCarthy participated. The case challenged the constitutionality of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, which regulated campaign financing. McCarthy argued that the law violated the First Amendment rights of candidates and contributors. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the law, but McCarthy's participation in the case helped to raise awareness of the issue of campaign finance reform.
