New federalism is a type of [[federalism]] introduced by the [[Nixon Administration]]. It holds that because the states know more about the needs of the people than the [[federal government]], more power should be transfered from the federal government to the [[state]]s.
Comprised of two major programs, '''general revenue sharing''' and '''special revenue sharing''', it is generally considered one of the more conservative types of federalism.<ref>CliffsAP, US Government and Politics, p50</ref>
==General Revenue Sharing==
A program by which the federal government provided money to the states for various, largely unrestricted reasons.<ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/general-revenue-sharing</ref>
==Special Revenue Sharing==
A program by which the federal government gave money to the state in the form of a block grant, which combined funding for many different programs. The way the money was to be spent was again left largely to the state itself.<ref>CliffsAP, US Government and Politics, p50</ref>
