Coercive federalism involves the federal government using financial or regulatory means to force states to enact certain policies or regulations. This often results in direct regulation by the federal government of areas that were once reserved for the states. This can be seen as an infringement on state sovereignty and has been criticized by some as a violation of the principles of federalism.
