My name is Kevin ans I am indeed more than happy to help. I'm in 7th grade just took the Constitution Test. (Much easier than I thought) I'm going to guess that the Secretary o State might have something to do with the process of how a piece of land becomes a state in the United States. The Secretary of State deals with foreign affairs so if we want to buy land from a country they might be the ones to handle that. Only a guess.

How has categorical grants increase the power of the federal government?

Another example of federal government taking states power would be the new ways of controlling the states spending, the government now gave out categorical grants from which it could control how the states spent this money. For some states the government was giving out over $200 billion dollars from which 90% of this would be categorical grants and the federal government would regulate how it was spent. The states therefore were restricted on what they could spend the money on and this further showed an increase in federal government's power.
