Answer 1

The correct answer is New Federalism.

This policy of Richard Nixon focused on giving state and local government more power in solving social issues within their respective territories. Nixon felt that the federal government was too large and intrusive in scope ever since the New Deal programs developed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The New Federalism program would help to get rid of this oversight and allow states/cities to have more control over the funds they received from the federal government.
