Explanation:

<h3>Untouchability, in its literal sense is the practice of ostracising a minority group by segregating them from the mainstream by social custom or legal mandate. The term is most commonly associated with treatment of the Dalit communities in Indian subcontinent who were considered "polluting" , but the term has been used for other groups as well, such as the Burakumin of Japan, Cagots in Europe, or the Al-Akhdam in Yemen.</h3>

<h3>Traditionally, the groups characterized as untouchable were those whose occupations and habits of life involved ritually polluting activities such as fishermen, manual scavengers, sweepers and washermen.</h3>

<h3>Untouchability has been outlawed in both India and Pakistan post their independence. However, "Untouchability" hasn't been legally defined till date.</h3>

Answer:

1. There have been many efforts made to chage campaign fincance methods for elections. Corruption often coexists when funding political campaigns. The democratic and republican parties have vastly different stances when it comes to the importance of climate preservation, healthcare, preservation of forests, and clean energy. Because of this, fossil fuel and oil industries tend to contribute mostly to the GOP, while climate preservation and green energy companies tend to fund the democratic party. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of 2002, also known as "McCain-Feingold", is the most recent major federal law affecting campaign finance, the key provisions of which prohibited unregulated contributions (commonly referred to as "soft money") to national political parties and limited the use of corporate dollars in elections. It also doubled the contribution limit of hard money, from $1,000 to $2,000 per election cycle, with a built-in increase for inflation.
