President Nixon's goal of using the New Federalism policy was to give more political power back to the state governments.
Nixon felt that ever since the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the federal government had become too involved to the point where it became overbearing. Instead of using this style of government, Nixon introduced the idea of giving the power of the states to decide on issues like how to spend money from the federal government. This resulted in states having more freedom on how they spent money given to them by the federal government.
