The philosophy being referred to in this definition is known as New Federalism.
The goal of this ideology is to give a significant amount of power back to the state government. Nixon, along with other Republicans, felt that the federal government was far too large in its scope and power. This policy of new federalism would roll back this power so that state governments can make decisions based on their individual needs.
<h2><em>Herodotus views history as a source of moral lessons, with conflicts and wars as misfortune. Herodotus, preferred moral lessons and drawing conclusions over fact, making him similar to other popular historians of the time. Thucydides uses factual reports of political and military events, based on eye-witness accounts. Thucydides' view of only factual based reports, was uncommon for the time, neither Thucydides or Herodotus, cited sources.</em></h2>
