For example, in 1978, Maya Angelou published the poem “Still I Rise” about the experience of being a black woman in America. One

of the messages of the poem is that, despite verbal and physical violence against her, she still continues forward. In 1999, 2Pac released “Still I Rise,” which contained many allusions to Angelou’s poem. By using allusion, 2Pac linked his story to Angelou’s, implicitly showing a history of violence toward black people in America without spelling it out for his audience.
Read the following excerpts.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
– Maya Angelou, “Still I Rise”

Act up if you feel me, I was born not to make it, but I did,
The tribulations of a ghetto kid, still I rise.

Still I (still I) I rise (I rise,)
Please give me to the sky (the sky.)
And if (and if) I die (I die,)
I don't want you to cry.
– 2Pac, “Still I Rise”

Why has the federal government attempted to return domestic policy back to the states?
Kaylis [27]
I think that the reason why Federal Government attempted to return domestic policy back to the states is because of efficiency.

It is more efficient to delegate powers to the states to deal with issues and conflicts within the states because state leaders can see firsthand on what these issues are and can immediately propose and act on solutions to resolve these issues. 

There are 52 states in the U.S. of A and the Federal Government can only decide on laws that can be good for all. They can't individually monitor these states to see whether the laws are implemented as it should be. Thus, they need to delegate powers to the state to act in their behalf at the same time acting for the benefit of the people living in the state.
