The national government tries to influence the states through a combination of means including no influence and no funding on an issue, categorical grants (which are grants provided to states for specific purposes and come with restrictions on how the money can be used), block grants (which are grants provided to states for more general purposes and come with fewer restrictions), and unfunded mandates (which are requirements imposed by the national government on states without providing funding to implement them).
