Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Devolution is the process of shifting responsibilities for programs from the federal level to the state. This includes planning, delivering, and financing responsibility for programs. Block granting is a form of devolution where federal funds are given to states in block grants, which they can use to fund programs in a way that suits their individual needs. State administration refers to the management of programs at the state level, but does not necessarily involve a shift in responsibility from the federal level. Evolution is not a term typically used in this context.
