The answer is land grants.

Cash grants-in-aid are funds provided by the federal government to state or local governments for specific purposes. However, this was not the first form of grants-in-aid.

Block grants are large sums of money granted by the federal government to state or local governments with general provisions on how the money is to be spent. These came later in the history of federal grants.

Categorical grants are funds provided by the federal government to state or local governments for a specific purpose. These also came later and are more restrictive than block grants.

Land grants were the first form of grants-in-aid from the national government to the states. These grants involved the transfer of land to states for the purpose of establishing schools, roads, and other public works.

The answer is devolution.

Devolution is the process of transferring powers and responsibilities from the federal government to the states. This term accurately describes the process of passing many federal programs on to the states.

Revolution refers to a fundamental change in political power or organizational structures, typically involving a significant shift in governance. It does not describe the process of transferring federal programs to the states.

State initiative is a process that allows citizens of a state to propose and vote on legislation or constitutional amendments. It is not related to the transfer of federal programs to the states.

State referendum is a process that allows citizens to approve or reject laws passed by the legislature. It is also not related to the transfer of federal programs to the states.
