With unfunded mandates, the national government (Points : 1)
respects state sovereignty.
passes a national policy measure which will require state spending.
approves a state policy measure and provides 1/3 of the required state spending.
fully pays for the state spending requirements.
hmmm, around here unfunded means unfunded :)
With unfunded mandates, the national government passes a national policy measure that will require state spending. The term "unfunded mandate" refers to when the national government imposes certain requirements or regulations on the states without providing any accompanying funding to cover the costs. In this scenario, the national government does not fully pay for the state spending requirements; instead, it puts the burden of funding on the states themselves. Therefore, the correct answer is:
- Passes a national policy measure which will require state spending.
