Item 2
• It suggests that states match federal funds for grants.
• It requires states to make changes, sometimes without federal funds.
• It raises enough revenue for common state and federal goals.
• It allows cooperation between federal and state agencies.
The correct answer is:
• It requires states to make changes, sometimes without federal funds.
A mandate is a requirement imposed by the federal government that compels states or local governments to take certain actions or implement specific policies. When a mandate is imposed, it often requires states to make changes, regardless of whether federal funds are provided or not. This can lead to increased centralization because it gives the federal government more control over state and local policies and decision-making processes.
