Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Devolution refers to the transfer of power and responsibility from the federal government to state and local governments. This can be achieved through the use of block grants, which give states more flexibility in how they use the funds, instead of restrictive categorical grants in aid. Matching grants are a type of federal grant that requires recipients to match a certain percentage of funds, while cooperative federalism and dual federalism refer to different models of federal-state relations.
