Explanation:

Federalism is a form of government whereby there's division of power between the government. The statement best reflects modern federalism is that the federal government’s spending on grants has increased over time because the federal government shares more responsibilities with the states.

For example, in the United States, there has been an increase in grants expenditure due to funding for health care, public safety, infrastructural development etc.

The rising Medicaid costs and adjustment for inflation also contributes to this increase. Expenses on healthcare has resulted in the rise in the grants that are given by the federal government to the states.
