The preconscious would then be examined in the form of the recent court rulings on the subject. Finally, McCutcheon’s unconscious mind would be hypothesized as to why McCutcheon may feel the need to support so many political candidates. These three levels of consciousness would all be related to Freud’s idea of the ID (base wants), Superego (morality), and the Ego (the actualization of McCutcheon and the Supreme Court’s rulings and
