Increased cost of election campaigns has contributed in the decline of trust in the government because the majority of the money comes from corporations so its more like a competition of who can get the biggest and most well known sponsors this has raised concern that elected representatives might become more accountable to powerful donors than to their electorates; in simpler terms the increased costs suggest that the office can be bought.

Explain how divided government has contributed to the decline in trust and confidence in government?

A divided party government occurs when one party is in the presidency and the other controls one or both chambers of Congress. Because in a divided government one party can check the other's agenda, it is exceedingly difficult for a party to carry out its policies. Divided party governments in modern times have affected voter behaviors. The inability of a party to bring its promises to fruition has contributed to voter disillusionment in the democratic system, decreasing trust and confidence in government.
