A. "Together, after 50 years of taking power away from the hands of the people in their states and local communities, we have started returning power and resources to them."

Explanation:

"New Federalism" refers to a political philosophy that tries to bring back the power from the national government to the people. Under the governance of Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the U. S. A., who supported the New Federalism, power was gradually restored to the state and local governments. These allowed them to take effective measures in using the federal money according to the problems or issues in their own states or local communities.

Among the choices mentioned, choice A best reflects the ideals of the New Federalism. This allows proper management in the government and less occurrence of fraud.

So, this explains the answer.
