A mandate increases centralization primarily because "It requires states to make changes, sometimes without federal funds." This means that the federal government can impose requirements on states, compelling them to adhere to specific policies or standards, regardless of whether federal funding is provided to support those changes. This creates a centralized authority where federal mandates dictate state policies, leading to increased centralization of power.
