Question

4 mark for review which of the following policies would the states most likely prefer according to the political cartoon? a federal mandates b regulatory preemption c block grants d categorical grants

Explanation:

The cartoon shows a figure representing states reaching for "Federal Benefits" while being presented with "Federal Authority"—the states want federal resources without strict federal control. Block grants give states broad funds with minimal federal restrictions, matching this preference. Federal mandates force states to act without funding, regulatory preemption overrides state power, and categorical grants have strict federal rules tied to spending.

Answer:

C. Block grants
