Explanation:

Richard Nixon believed in small government and fought against what he believed was rising Federalism in the country. The goal of his 'New Federalism' was to give more power back to the States.

Richard Nixon did not succeed in everything he had planned out, since the reforms had to pass through congress and not everyone supported him on the issues.

However, he did manage to provide funding to States which would take care of independent social programs of their own.
