Answer 1

States mainly raise revenue by collecting taxes from citizens. State governments generate most of their revenue through various forms of taxation, including income tax, sales tax, property tax, and various fees and licenses. While states may receive some revenue from other sources, such as federal grants or taxes shared from other states, the primary source is through direct taxation of their residents and businesses.
