The correct answer is Power needed to flow from Washington and back to the states.
This idea of having power flow from Washington (federal government) back to the states was part of Nixon's "New Federalism" program. Nixon ran for president on the idea that the federal government had become too large in scope and too intruding on American citizens. He cited laws from Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and Lyndon B Johnson's Great Society Programs in order to justify his answer.
To change this type of government, Nixon argued for allowing the states to choose how they spend funds (money) from the federal government.
