The other three choices (A, B, and C) are all fundamental reasons for the increase in the share of federal government spending in total government spending. The Sixteenth Amendment allowed the federal government to collect more revenue, which could be used to fund more programs. The New Deal programs and subsequent social insurance and welfare programs expanded the role of the federal government in providing economic security for its citizens. However, the increase in the number of programs mandated by the federal government but funded at the state or local level does not directly contribute to the increase in the share of federal government spending in total government spending. Instead, it may create a burden on state and local budgets, while the federal government retains significant control over the programs.
