Final answer:

Soft money in politics refers to unrestricted donations to political parties used for various activities excluding direct candidate support. It has evolved from its intended purpose of party building to influence elections indirectly. Corporations and unions are major contributors to this form of funding.


Explanation:

Soft money refers to funds contributed to political parties for get-out-the-vote drives, party-building activities, and issue advertising that bypass contribution or expenditure restrictions, as long as it does not directly fund candidate advertising. Originally intended for party building, soft money was later misused to aid specific candidates, leading to regulations. This type of funding, often from corporations and unions, plays a significant role in campaign finance.
