Congress can use its spending power to impose conditions on states receiving federal funds, so long as the conditions are clear, related to a federal interest, and not coercive.
False
True
This statement is correct because the Supreme Court has interpreted Congress's spending power to allow conditional funding of state programs, provided the conditions meet specific requirements: they must promote the general welfare, be unambiguous, relate to a federal interest, and not coerce the state into compliance. In the landmark case South Dakota v. Dole, the Court upheld Congress's ability to condition federal highway funds on adopting a minimum drinking age, reasoning that the conditions were reasonable and furthered federal objectives.
