Nixon's strategy to give more policymaking discretion to subnational governments involved implementing revenue sharing and block grants. Revenue sharing provided states and localities with a direct share of federal tax revenue while block grants gave them more flexibility in how they used federal funds. This gave subnational governments more control over their own policies and allowed for greater innovation in policymaking.
