Identify at least two types of national mandates, and explain their key features.
What will be an ideal response?
National mandates are clauses in national laws, including grants-in-aid, that direct state and local governments to do things specified by the national government. Preemption is often used to create them. Many mandates relate to civil rights and liberties, such as that of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 that required all government buildings to be disabled-accessible. Funded mandates are those paid for entirely by the national government, whereas unfunded mandates include costs to be borne by state and local governments.
